-Automatically between - Accept an automatic restart, but choose a time where you are not likely to use the unit. You must have configured a SNTP server (see the Administration page) so the unit knows the time-of-day. For automatic firmware upgrades, the unit must be switched on during the specified hours. If no SNTP service selected, it falls back to the option below.
-Automatically at any time - Select this option if you don't bother about an occasional (rare) restart.
