Set the Lighthouse Internal Clock

Lighthouse and Node system times must be in sync. Enrollment can fail if there is a significant difference between the Lighthouse and the node. It is recommended that you use an NTP server to automatically manage the date and time.

If you are using multiple instances, configure the time zone for the secondary instances before you add them as secondary instance. The only way to change the time zone after adding a secondary instance is to use the CLI.

Manual Configuration

To manually select the time zone:

1. In the Settings Pane, select > SYSTEM > Time Settings.
   The TIME SETTING page displays with the TIMEZONE tab selected.

2. From the System Timezone drop-down, select the timezone for the Lighthouse instance.

3. Click Apply.
