Setting the Date and Time with the Network Time Protocol Client
The access point has a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client. The unit uses
the client to obtain the date and time from an SNTP server on your
network or the Internet. The access point adds the date and time to log
messages and SNMP traps. Here are the guidelines to using the client:
You need to know the hostname or IP address of an SNTP server on
your network or the Internet. You may specify only one server.
The access point must have an IP address.
The access point must also have a default gateway address if the
SNTP server is on a different subnet or network. The default gateway
must specify the first router hop to the subnet or network of the SNTP
server.
The client is compatible with SNTP servers. It is not compatible with
NTP servers.
To configure the NTP client, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Services menu, select NTP Settings.
The access point displays the “Modify how the access point discovers
the time” window, shown in Figure 49 on page 151.
2. Click the Using Network Time Protocol dialog circle for the Set System
Time parameter. Refer to Figure 51.
