System Configuration
Time and Log
Use the options on the Time Setting page (FIG. 37) to enable Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP allows the WAP250G to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).
FIG. 37 Time Setting page
Maintaining an accurate time on the WAP250G enables all system log messages to be stamped with the correct time and date. If the clock is not set, the WAP250G only records the time from the factory default set at the last bootup.
The WAP250G acts as an SNTP client, which periodically sends time synchronization requests to a specific time server. SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT) based on the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display the time corresponding to your local time, you must also indicate the number of hours your time zone is located before or after UTC/GMT (FIG. 38).
