3. Select the NTP Server field and enter the IP address or hostname of
the SNTP server. You may specify only one server. If you are
specifying the server by its hostname, please observe these
guidelines:
The first character must be a letter or number. It cannot be a
special character.
The last character cannot be a hyphen or period.
4. Select the Interval to Synchronize field and specify in minutes how
frequently the access point is to synchronize its time with the SNTP
server. The range is 1 to 9999 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
5. Use the pull-down menu in Time Zone to set the time zone of the
location of the access point.
If the SNTP server is providing Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the
access point uses the time zone parameter to determine its UTC
offset, which is the number of hours its location is ahead or behind
UTC. It adjusts the time accordingly.
6. If the location of the access point observes daylight savings time, click
the dialog box for the Adjust Time for Daylight Savings parameter. The
window displays the fields in Figure 50 on page 152.
If the area does not observe Daylight Savings time, leave the dialog
box empty and go to step 10.
7. Use the pull down menus in DST Start to set the date and time for the
start of Daylight Savings time.
8. Use the pull down menus in DST End to set the date and time for the
end of Daylight Savings time.
9. Select the DST Offset field and enter the number of minutes to adjust
the time at the start and end of Daylight Savings time. The default is 60
minutes.
10. Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the
access point.
