3. From the Time Zone drop-down list, select the correct time zone for your location.

So that your files are correctly time-stamped, NETGEAR recommends that you select the time zone in which the ReadyDATA is physically located.

4. Select the correct date and time by doing one of the following:

  • Select the Synchronize clock with an Internet server check box. When you select this check box, the calendar and time drop-down lists dim, and the system's date and time are synchronized with a NETGEAR NTP server.
  • Clear the Synchronize clock with an Internet server check box, and use the calendar and time drop-down lists to set the date and time manually.

5. Click Apply.

If you change the time zone, you need to restart the ReadyDATA, as follows:

a. Click the Power icon in the upper right corner of the navigation bar:

b. From the drop-down list, select Restart.

c. Confirm your selection.

The ReadyDATA shuts down gracefully and then restarts.

If you enabled email alerts, the ReadyDATA sends a message after it restarts.
