StarTech.com CONYX ECS0016 Manuel D’Utilisation

Instruction Manual

84

It is recommended that you set the local Date and Time in the ECS0016 
as soon as it is configured. Features like Syslog and NFS logging use 
the system time for timestamping log entries, while certificate genera-
tion depends on a correct Timestamp to check the validity period of the 
certificate.

Select the 

1. 

System: Date & Time menu option 

Manually set the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minute using the Date  

2. 
  and Time selection boxes, then click 

Apply 

The gateway can synchronize its system time with a remote time server 
using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Configuring the NTP time server 
ensures that the ECS0016 clock will be accurate soon after the Internet 
connection is established. Also if NTP is not used, the system clock will 
be reset randomly every time the ECS0016 is powered up. To set the 
system time using NTP: 

Select the 

1. 

Enable NTP checkbox on the Network Time Protocol page.

Enter the IP address of the remote NTP Server and click 

2. 

Apply. 

You must now also specify your local time zone so the system clock can 
show local time (and not UTP).  As such, set your appropriate region/
locality in the Time Zone selection box and click 

Apply.
