Date & Time

Summary

---

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. This chapter is an overview of the NTP section for {{{name}}} devices.

General

---

The Time Synchronization section lets you select time zone and synchronize the time.

The figure below is an example of the Time Synchronization section and the table below provides information about the fields contained in that section:

[[File:Networking_rutos_ntp_general_gps_{{{gps}}}_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Field	Value	Description
Current system time	time; default: none	Current local time of the device.
Sync with browser	-(interactive button)	Click to synchronize device time and time zone to browsers, if your device time or time zone is not correct.
Time zone	time zone; default: UTC	The device will sync time in accordance with the selected time zone.

NTP

---

This section is used to configure NTP client, server and time servers.

Time Synchronization

---

This section is used to configure the device's time settings.

[[File:Networking_rutos_ntp_ntp_time_synchronization_{{{mobile}}}.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

Field	Value	Description
Enable NTP Client	off | on; default: on	Turns NTP on or off.
Save time to flash	off | on; default: off	Saves last synchronized time to flash memory.
Force Servers	off | on; default: off	Forces unreliable NTP servers.

Offset frequency	integer; default: 0	Adjusts the minor drift of the clock so that it will run more accurately.
Count of time synchronizations	integer; default: none	The amount of times the device will perform time synchronizations. Leave empty in order to set to infinite.

Time Servers

---

This section is used to specify which time servers the device will use for time synchronization. To add more time servers to the list, click the 'Add' button.

Field	Value	Description
Hostname	ip | url; default: time[x].google.com	NTP servers that this device uses to sync time.

NTP Server

---

The device can also act as an NTP Server, providing clock synchronization to other devices in the network. From this section you can turn this feature on or off:

NTPD

---

The NTPD program is an operating system daemon that synchronizes the system clock to remote NTP time servers or local reference clocks. NTPD includes the ability to use this to keep your clock in sync and will run more accurately than a clock on a device not running NTPD. NTPD will also use several servers to improve accuracy. It is a complete implementation of NTP version 4 defined by RFC-5905, but also retains compatible with version 3 defined by RFC-1305 and versions 1 and 2, defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119, respectively.

Note: NTPD is additional software that can be installed from the System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]] page.

System Users

---

Summary

---

The System Users page is used to add new user accounts that can access the device with different user credentials than the default ones. The newly added users can be assigned to one of two groups, either of which can be modified to limit WebUI read/write access rights for users belonging to each specific group.

This page is unrelated to SSH users. By default, there is one SSH user named "root" and it shares the same password as the default WebUI user named "admin".

This manual page provides an overview of the Users page in {{{name}}} devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Groups

---

The Groups section lists available user groups of which there are three:

---

• root - highest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
  • has unlimited read/write access;
  • additional users cannot be added to this group;
  • access rights for this group cannot be modified.
  
  

---

• admin - second highest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
  • limited read access; by default, users belonging to this group cannot view these pages:
    • System → Administration → Users Settings → System Users
    • System → Administration → Profiles
    • System → Maintenance → Backup
    • System → Firmware
    • System → Maintenance → CLI
    • System → Setup Wizard
    • System → Maintenance → Custom Scripts
  • limited write access; by default, users belonging to this group cannot view these pages:
    • System → Administration → Users Settings → System Users
    • System → Maintenance → Backup
    • System → Firmware
    • System → Maintenance → CLI
    • System → Setup Wizard
    • System → Maintenance → Custom Scripts
    • System → Administration → Access Control → General
    • System → Administration → Profiles
  • access rights can be modified.
  
  

---

• user - lowest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
  • no write access;
  • limited read access; by default, users belonging to this group cannot view these pages:
    • System → Administration → Users Settings → System Users
    • System → Firmware
    • System → Maintenance → Backup
    • System → Administration → Access Control
    • System → Maintenance → CLI
    • System → Maintenance → Custom Scripts
    • System → Maintenance → Troubleshoot
    • System → Package Manager
    • Network
    • System → Setup Wizard
    • Services → Hotspot → General → Userscripts
  • access rights can be modified.
  
  

---

Additional note: you can view and/or edit settings for each group by clicking the 'Edit' button next to them. More on information on how to edit group access settings is located in the following section of this manual page.

Group Settings (edit group)

---

A group's parameters can be set in its Group Settings page. To access the Groups Settings page, click the 'Edit' button next to the group's name. Below is an example of the Group Settings section:

Field	Value	Description
Write action	Allow | Deny; default: Allow	Specifies whether to deny or allow write access for users belonging the group.
Write access	path(s) to page(s); default: System > Administration > User Settings > Change Password	Controls the ability of users to change and execute the contents (e.g. Network > Lan).
Read action	Allow | Deny; default: Deny	Specifies whether to deny or allow read access for users belonging the group.
Read access	path(s) to page(s); default: in the picture above	Path(s) to the page(s) to which the selected "Read action" will be applied. Click the plus symbol to add more entries.

Examples

---

The easiest way to master the syntax is to navigate to page that you want to generate a path for and the copy the path from the URL of that page.

For example, to specify the path to the Network → Mobile page, navigate to the page, copy the page's URL address starting from the symbol "#" and paste it into one of the access fields:

---

However, the VPN window contains links to many different types of VPN pages. If you want to specify only one of them, you can do it as well. For example, to to specify the path to the IPsec page, add "/ipsec" to the path string:

services/vpn/ipsec

---

An asterisk (*) in the path string means that the every page from that point on is included in that path. For example, to generate a path that includes pages in the Services menu tab:

services/*

Or to simply include everything in the entire WebUI (if this path is combined with Read action: Deny, users from that group will not be able to login to the WebUI):

*

Users

---

The Users section lists all created users and provides the possibility to change their passwords and the group they belong to (with the exception of the default user "admin" which always belongs to the root group).

By default, there is only one user called "admin":

User Settings (edit user)

---

Each user's password and group parameters can be set in their User Settings pages. To access the User Settings page, click the 'Edit' button next to the user's name.

Recipients

The Recipients section is used to configure phone groups and email users, which can later be used along with SMS or email related services, such as [[{{{name}}} Events Reporting|Events Reporting]].

Phone Groups

---

A Phone Group is a collection of phone numbers that can be used as the recipient in SMS & call related services instead of specifying every number individually. The phone group list is empty by default thus, you must first add at least one new group before you can add phone numbers to it. To create and begin editing a phone group, follow these steps:

1. Enter a custom name for the phone group into the 'Name' field.
2. Click the 'Add' button.

After clicking 'Edit' you should be redirected to that phone group's configuration page where you can start adding phone numbers to it.

Field	Value	Description

Phone number	string; default: none	A phone number entry for this group. Numbers that consist of 0-9*+# characters are accepted. Click the plus symbol to add more entries.

Email Users

---

When email related services (such as [[{{{name}}} Events Reporting|Events Reporting]]) are used, the device logs in to the specified email account and reads the inbox (e.g., Email to SMS) or sends out a message (e.g., SMS to Email) depending on the configured service. In this context, an Email Account is an configuration instance that contains the necessary data required in order to log into an email account.

The email accounts list is empty by default thus, you must first add at least one new account before you can configure it. To create and begin editing an email account, follow these steps:

1. Enter a custom name for the email account into the 'Name' field.
2. Click the 'Add' button.

After clicking 'Add' you should be redirected to that email account's settings page where you can start configuring the account.

Field	Value	Description

Certificates

The Certificates page is used for convenient TLS certificate and key generation and management. Generated files can be exported and used on other machines or locally on this device with functions that use TLS/SSL, such as [[{{{name}}} MQTT|MQTT]], [[{{{name}}} VPN#OpenVPN|OpenVPN]], [[{{{name}}} VPN#IPsec|IPsec]] and others.

Certificate Generation

---

The Certificate Generation tab provides the possibility to generate TLS certificates required for secure authentication and communication encryption used by some of the devices services.

There are six distinct generation methods (denoted by the selected 'File Type').

1. Simple - generates and signs a set of 2048 bit certificate and key files that include:
   • Certificate Authority (CA)
   • Server certificate & key
   • Client certificate & key
   • DH Parameters
   The CA file generated with this option automatically signs the certificates. In short, this option is used for convenience as it doesn't let the user set any additional parameters for the certificate files. Therefore, it should be used only when no other specific requirements are expected.
2. CA - generates a Certificate Authority (CA) file. A CA is a type of certificate file that certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate. In other words, it assures clients that they are connecting to a trusted server and vice versa.
3. Server - generates a server certificate and key. A server certificate validates a server's identity to connecting clients, while a key is responsible for encryption.
4. Client - generates a client certificate and key. A client certificate validates a client's identity to the server that it's connecting to, while a key is responsible for encryption.
5. DH Parameters - generates a Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters file. DH parameters are used in symmetric encryption to protect and define how OpenSSL key exchange is performed.
6. Let's encrypt - generates SSL certificate.
7. SCEP - generates SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) certificate.

Generation Parameters

---

Generating each type of file requires setting some parameters. This section provides an overview for parameters used in Simple and TLS certificate generation.

---

Simple file parameters

Field	Value	Description
Hosts	string; default: none	Appends hostnames to certificates.
IP addresses	IPv4 address; default: none	Appends IPv4 addresses to certificates.

---

TLS parameters or simply parameters that apply to each (CA, Server, Client, DH) file type are the size and common name of the generated file(s).

Field	Value	Description
Key Size	integer; default: 2048	Generated key size in bits. Larger keys provide more security but take longer to generate. A 2048 bit is the preferred option.
Name (CN)	string; default: cert	Common Name (CN), aka Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is a parameter that defines the name of the certificate. It should be chosen with care as it is not only used for easier management. For example, the Common Name should typically hostname of the server. It may also be used to differentiate clients in order to apply client-specific settings.

---

Subject information is not mandatory but can be used as user-friendly way to identify the ownership of certificate files by including such information as the owner's location and company name.

---

The Sign the certificate slider control whether the certificate will be signed automatically or manually after the generation is complete.

Field	Value	Description
Days Valid	integer; default: 3650	Length of the signature's validity.
CA File Name	filename; default: none	Selects which CA file will be used to sign the generated certificate.
CA key	filename; default: none	Selects which CA key file will be used to sign the generated certificate.
Delete Signing Request	off | on; default: off	Generation creates additional 'signing request' files (which appear under the Certificate Manager tab) that are later used to sign the generated certificates. When this option is set to 'on', the device deletes the signing request files after the signing process is complete.

---

A Private Key Decryption Password is a parameter used to decrypt private keys protected by a password.

---

Let's encrypt - This section provides an overview of the parameters used to generate SSL certificates.

---

Field	Value	Description

IP addresses	IPv4 address; default: none	Appends IPv4 addresses to certificates.
Sign	- (interactive button)	Signs the certificate on click.

Certificate Manager

---

The Certificate Manager page displays information on all certificate and key files stored on the device and provides the possibility export these files for use on another machine or import files generated elsewhere.

Certificate Import

---

The Certificate Import section provides the possibility to import certificates and files generated on another machine. To upload such a file simply click 'Browse' and locate the file on your computer, it should then start uploading automatically.

Certificates, Keys & Requests

---

The Certificates, Keys and Requests section display files generated on or imported to the device along with the most important information related to them.

By default, the lists are empty. A set certificates generated using 'Simple' file type would look something like this:

The 'Export' buttons are used to download the files from the device onto your local machine. The 'X' buttons located to the right of each entry are used to delete related files.

Root CA

---

The Root CA section is used to add a root CA certificate file to the device. There is a default file already preloaded on the device which will be overwritten by any uploaded file. The certificates must be in .pem format, maximum file size is 10 KB. These certificates are only needed if you want to use HTTPS for your services and the default file should be sufficient in most cases.

Profiles

Summary

Configuration profiles provide a way to create multiple distinct device configuration sets and apply them to the device based on current user requirements. This chapter is an overview of the Profiles page in {{{name}}} devices.

Configuration Profiles

This section displays user defined configuration profiles:

Profile Scheduler Instance Example

---

Scheduler will use profile instance if it is enabled and it's time interval matches device's [[{{{name}}}_Administration#General_2|date]], otherwise default profile will be used.

Example - we have 3 profiles in total:

• default
• Profile A
• Profile B

We create profile instances for Profiles A and B:

• Profile A: 08:00 - 11:00
• Profile B: 13:00 - 20:00

During 11:00 - 13:00 and 20:00 - 08:00 default profile will be used.
