HP PS110 Configuration And Administration Manual page 24

This page includes the following settings for manual configuration:
Set system time
•
Current System Time: Displays the current time setting of the router.
•
Manually: Allows the date and time to be entered manually. You can also select Import
From Host Computer to copy the current time from the management computer.
•
Set Time Zone: The local time zone where the router is installed.
Using network time protocol (NTP)
NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time)
to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time
stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in
the system log or syslog messages.
When you select this option, a field displays for you to specify the NTP server. You can specify
the NTP hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended, as these
are more likely to change. If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:
•
The length must be from 1 to 63 characters.
•
Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.
•
The first character must be a letter (a to z or A to Z), and the last character cannot be a
hyphen.
A actual NTP server host name, pool.ntp.org, is configured by default and will provide the
time when the AP is connected to the Internet.
This page includes the following settings for NTP configuration:
Set system time
•
Current System Time: Displays the current time setting of the router.
•
NTP: Enables the router to use NTP to synchronize the system clock to global Internet time,
or allows the time to be set manually.
•
Time Server Address: The IP address or name of an NTP server. Either select an
address from the list or configure a Custom Entry.
•
Set Time Zone: The local time zone where the router is installed.
