AcerRouter 700 Series User Guide 3-29Setting the System TimeThe AcerRouter 700 maintains a real-time clock which is automatically set to thelocal time of the management PC the first time a connection is made to SMART. Tomodify the 700 clock, follow the steps below.The time is used to provide timestamps for Connection Log and System Log entries.It is also used for determining Internet access restrictions (see the section, “Setting Internet Access Time Restrictions”, below).Since the AcerRouter does not contain a backup battery for the real-time clock, thetime will not be maintained across system resets or power cycles. Therefore, after a reset or power cycle, the clock will not be correct. To set the clock once again, bring upthe System Time Setting screen in SMART and adjust the time accordingly.
