The SBC Edge system allows you to either set the date and time manually, or have it configured such that the system clock gets automatically synchronized with a Time Server via Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Setting the Date and Time on SBC Edge

It is recommended to configure the SBC Edge with a Time Server via NTP. This ensures the SBC Edge clock settings are accurate and will minimize common certificate issues when integrating with devices via TLS.

To set the date and time:

  1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.

  2. In the left navigation pane, go to System > Node-Level Settings.
