Advanced Configuration

The wireless bridge acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending time synchronization requests to specific time servers. You can configure up to two time server IP addresses. The wireless bridge will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.

SNTP Server – Configures the wireless bridge to operate as an SNTP client. When enabled, at least one time server IP address must be specified.

Primary Server: The IP address of an SNTP or NTP time server that the wireless bridge attempts to poll for a time update.

Secondary Server: The IP address of a secondary SNTP or NTP time server. The wireless bridge first attempts to update the time from the primary server; if this fails it attempts an update from the secondary server.

Note: The wireless bridge also allows you to disable SNTP and set the system clock manually using the CLI.

Set Time Zone – 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 a time corresponding to your local time, you must indicate the number of hours your time zone is located before (east) or after (west) UTC.

Enable Daylight Saving – The wireless bridge provides a way to automatically adjust the system clock for Daylight Savings Time changes. To use this feature you must define the month and date to begin and to end the change from standard time. During this period the system clock is set back by one hour.
