 in a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a “*.bin” 

extension, e.g., “WAP6906.bin”. The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may 
take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot.

Click Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade. Follow the instructions in this screen to upload firmware to your 
WAP6906.

New Date 

(yyyy/mm/dd)

This field displays the last updated date from the time server or the last date configured 
manually.

When you select Manual, enter the new date in this field and then click Apply.

Get from Time Server

Select this radio button to have the WAP6906 get the time and date from the time server(s) 
you specified below.

Time Zone Setup

Time Zone

Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your time 
zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). 

Daylight Saving 
Enable

Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks 
ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.

Start Date

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected Daylight 
Saving Enable. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:

Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday of 
March. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local 
time. So in the United States you would select Second, Sunday, March and select 2 in the at 
field.

Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of the 
time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 
A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March. The time 
you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you would 
select 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1). 

End Date

Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you selected Daylight 
Saving Enable. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:

Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each time 
zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the 
United States you would select First, Sunday, November and select 2 in the at field.

Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of the 
time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 
A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last, Sunday, October. The 
time you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you 
would select 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
