Every time my NetGuardian starts up, I have to reenter the date and time. How can I get the NetGuardian to automatically maintain the date and time setting?
A. Real Time Clock (RTC): A NetGuardian may be purchased with a real time clock option. A real time clock is an additional piece of hardware installed on the NetGuardian itself. Once a date and time has been assigned, no additional software or configuration is required to maintain the date and time setting regardless of system start up events. Network Time Protocol (NTP): If there isn’t an RTC installed on your NetGuardian, or you wish to have clock synchronization between multiple units, then you may enable the NetGuardian to synchronize with a network timeserver. You may already have NTP support on your NetGuardian, or your unit may require a free firmware upgrade, which is available from our Tech Support Upgrade Site. There are numerous free and public network timeservers available on the World Wide Web, or you may have a server available on your network. To setup, the NetGuardian requires you to enter the IP address and port of the server and the time zone of the unit. T/Mon/IAM RT
