Select your timezone from the dropdown list, where the default value is :abbr:`UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)`. You can also enter the hostname for a :abbr:`NTP (Network Time Protocol)` source if your node is connected to a network which has a network time server. In the *NTP Server* field you should enter a valid hostname for the network time source, for example ``us.pool.ntp.org`` or ``AD5BC-ntp.local.mesh``. You may also choose how often NTP will update the node’s clock by selecting a value from the *NTP Updates* dropdown list. The default is once per day [daily] but you may also select once per hour [hourly]. Select your timezone from the dropdown list, where the default value is :abbr:`UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)`.

If you have mesh based NTP servers, advertise them as services to ensure time synchronization across your mesh network even if the Internet is not available. Review the **Local Services** section below for instructions on advertising a local NTP server.

If a local `GPS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System>`_ source is available, you node can use that source after you install the `WhereAndWhen <https://github.com/kn6plv/WhereAndWhen>`_ package. If you plan to use Wireguard tunneling, make sure that an NTP or GPS time source is reachable when the node boots so that the key exchange between the client and server will happen. Without proper time syncronization, Wireguard will not establish tunnels.

Node Time, Uptime, Load Average, and Free Memory Node Time, Uptime, Load Average, and Free Memory
The node time is displayed along with the source in parentheses. If an Internet connection or a local `NTP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol>`_ server is available, your node's NTP client will sync its time with that source. If a local `GPS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System>`_ source is available, you node can update its time from that source if you install the `WhereAndWhen <https://github.com/kn6plv/WhereAndWhen>`_ package. The ``uptime`` is also displayed, which is the time since the last reboot. ``load`` is the average system utilization for the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. ``free flash`` and ``free ram`` shows how much storage space is remaining on your node. ``flash`` is the internal non-volatile storage where the operating system, configuration files, and software packages are kept. ``ram`` is the amount of :abbr:`RAM (Random Access Memory)` available for running processes on the node.

Firmware Information Firmware Information
This displays the node's current firmware version. A badge on the right indicates the status of the firmware, with valid values including ``Up to date``, ``Update available``, and ``Custom``. If your node has access to the Internet you can also click on the *issues* label below the firmware version, and this will open the AREDN® `Issues <https://github.com/aredn/aredn/issues>`_ page on GitHub. Clicking the *release notes* label will open the `Changelog <https://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/CHANGELOG.md>`_ page on the AREDN® website. This displays the node's current firmware version.
