Time

What is Time in XGate?

A number of modules within XGate are dependent on Time. This includes features such as the XGate Log Viewer and Time based Web Control. As such, it is important for XGate Time to be correctly set up so these features work correctly.

Time Server Details

Within XGate there are two ways to set up time:

By Time Zone

This is via manually selecting your geographical Time Zone

Using Internet Time Servers

A Time Server is a computer that read time from a reference clock and distributes this time to its clients (in this case, XGate) Commonly, this reference clock is through GPS, which is used by the Atomic clocks on satellites.

Note: When you press the Synchronise button, your current date and time will be updated to match the Internet Time Server.
