  2. Select your local time zone from the GMT offset drop-down list.
  3. Select the daylight saving time (DST) adjustment from the DST adjustment drop-down list.
    Note: Not all time zones allow DST. If this option is selected for a time zone that does not allow DST, an error message is displayed.
  4. Select a method for updating the system clock from the Select Time Option drop-down list.
    Options include synchronizing the system clock with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or manually configuring the system clock.
    1. If you selected to manually configure the system clock, you must set the system date and time. Enter the date and time information into the Date and Time fields.
    2. If you selected to synchronize the system clock with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, you must specify the IP addresses or host names for the NTP servers. Type the IP address or host name information for up to two servers in the NTP server fields.
      Note: Make sure that the NTP server is accessible through the network to TSA.
  5. Click Save to save the clock information.

Results

Note: Some changes require a restart to take effect. For example, if you set the date or time, or changed from manual configuration to NTP server configuration, you are prompted to restart the system.
