Figure 10-3: Configuration | System | General | Time and Date Screen


Current Time

The screen shows the current date and time on the VPN 3002 at the time the screen displays. You can refresh this by redisplaying the screen.

New Time

The values in the New Time fields are the time and date on the browser PC at the time the screen displays. Any entries you make apply to the VPN 3002, however.

In the appropriate fields, make any changes. The fields are, in order: Hour : Minute : Second   Month / Day / Year   Time Zone. Click the drop-down menu buttons to select Month, and Time Zone. The time zone selections are offsets in hours relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), which is the basis for Internet time synchronization. Enter the Year as a four-digit number.

Enable DST Support

To enable DST support, check the box. During DST (Daylight-Saving Time), clocks are set one hour ahead of standard time. Enabling DST support means that the VPN 3002 automatically adjusts the time zone for DST or standard time. If your system is in a time zone that uses DST, you must enable DST support.

Apply/Cancel

To apply your time and date settings, and to include your settings in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | General screen.

Reminder:

To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager window.

To discard your settings, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | General screen.
