Time Settings
A system clock provides a network-synchronized time-stamping service for
software events such as message logs. You can configure the system clock
manually or configure the WAP device as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client
that obtains the clock data from a server.
Use the Time Settings page to set the system time manually or to configure the
system to acquire its time settings from a preconfigured NTP server. By default,
the WAP device is configured to obtain its time from a predefined list of NTP
servers.
The current system time appears at the top of the page, along with the System
Clock Source option.
To use NTP to have the WAP device automatically acquire its time settings:
STEP 1 For the System Clock Source field, select Network Time Protocol (NTP).
STEP 2 Configure these parameters:
•NTP Server/IPv4/IPv6 Address Name—Specify the IPv4 address, IPv6
address, or hostname of an NTP server. A default NTP server is listed.
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63
alphanumeric characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is
separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up
to 253 characters long.
•Time Zone—Select the time zone for your location.
