Figure 309   MAINTENANCE > Password 

The following table describes the labels in this screen.   

The ZyWALL’s Real Time Chip (RTC) keeps track of the time and date. There is also a 
software mechanism to set the time manually or get the current time and date from an external 
server when you turn on your ZyWALL.

When you turn on the ZyWALL for the first time, the date and time start at 2000-01-01 
00:00:00. The ZyWALL then attempts to synchronize with an NTP time server from one of the 
0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org or 2.pool.ntp.org NTP time server pools. These are virtual 
clusters of time servers that use a round robin method to provide different NTP servers to 
clients.  
The ZyWALL continues to use the NTP time server pools if you do not specify a time server 
or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified. 

"

The ZyWALL can use the NTP time server pools regardless of the time 
protocol you select.
