Setting Device Time Zone

The BreezeMAX Si 4000 uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to set its

internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server. Maintaining an

accurate time on the device enables the system log to record meaningful dates and

times for event entries.

The Device Time page displays the following information:



Current Local Time (hh:mm:ss)

– Displays the current time of the system

clock.



Time Zone

– SNTP uses Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT (also known as

Universal Time Coordinated, or UTC) based on the time at the Earth’s prime

meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display a time corresponding to your local

time, select your time zone from the pull-down list. The default is GMT-06.00,

for Central Time (USA and Canada.)
