Address
Enter the IP address or URL of your time server. Check with your
ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this information.
Time Zone Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time
difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT).
Daylight Savings Select this option if you use daylight savings time. Daylight saving
is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set
their clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more
daytime light in the evening.
Start Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if
you selected Daylight Savings. The o'clock field uses the 24
hour format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on
the second Sunday of March. Each time zone in the United States
starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the
United States you would select Second, Sunday, March and type
2 in the o'clock field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last
Sunday of March. All of the time zones in the European Union start
using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or
UTC). So in the European Union you would select Mar., Last,
Sun. The time you type in the o'clock field depends on your time
zone. In Germany for instance, you would type “02” because
Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
End Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you
selected Daylight Savings. The o'clock field uses the 24 hour
format. Here are a couple of examples:
Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday
of November. Each time zone in the United States stops using
Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the United States
you would select First, Sunday, November and type 2 in the
o'clock field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last
Sunday of October. All of the time zones in the European Union
stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT
or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Oct., Last,
Sun. The time you type in the o'clock field depends on your time
zone. In Germany for instance, you would type 02 because
Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
