Request example

Changes the date and time to 21:30 12/10/1983:

    url: "/set_system_time.fcgi?session=" + session,
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify({
        day: 10,
        month: 12,
        year: 1983,
        hour: 21,

        second: 00
    })
});

NTP support

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize computer clocks on a network. It allows computers to obtain the exact time from NTP servers by automatically adjusting their clocks to minimize the time discrepancy between them.

The functionality implemented in the equipment allows the import of "time-zone data" in order to obtain local time zone references. Additionally, it is possible to manually enter daylight saving time (for countries that have adopted the measure).

The module responsible for this configuration is ntp. It can be configured via WEB interface, API or GUI. In it, it is possible to change two parameters: enabled which enables the protocol (values ​​"0" for disabled and "1" for enabled) and timezone which defines the local time (which takes values ​​from "UTC-12" to " UTC+12") in relation to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

It is worth mentioning that the NTP protocol supports all devices on the access line, that is, devices with firmware V5 and V6.

Request example

This request enables the ntp protocol with UTC+3:

$.ajax({
    url: "/set_configuration.fcgi?session=" + session,
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify(
        {
            "ntp": {
                "enabled": "1",
                "timezone": "UTC+3"
            }
        }
    )
});
