Enabling or Disabling a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
To configure your access point to use a network time protocol (NTP) server, first enable the use of NTP, and then select the NTP server you want to use. (To shut down NTP service on the network, disable NTP on the access point.)
Field | Description |
Network Time Protocol | NTP provides a way for the access point to obtain and maintain its |
(NTP) | time from a server on the network. Using an NTP server gives your |
| AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in log messages and |
| session information. |
| For more information on NTP, see http://www.ntp.org. |
| Choose to either enable or disable use of a network time protocol |
| (NTP) server: |
| ∙ To enable the NTP server, click Enabled. |
| ∙ To disable the NTP server, click Disabled. |
|
|
NTP Server | If NTP is enabled, select the NTP server you want to use. |
| You can specify the NTP server by host name or IP address, |
| although using the IP address is not recommended as these can |
| change more readily. |
|
|
Synchronize Automatically | If enabled, the device will synchronize time with NTP server |
| automatically. |
|
|
Interval to Synchronize | If Synchronize Automatically is enabled, the device will synchronize |
| time with the NTP server at each specified interval. |
| The interval is set in minutes. |
|
|
Time zone | Specify the time zone where the device locates. The time zone |
| determines the local time when the device is synchronizing time |
| with the NTP server. |
|
|
Update Time | After Now is clicked, your setting will be submitted and the device |
| will synchronize time with the NTP server immediately. |
