Problems with Date and Time

The Time Settings screen displays the current date and time of day (see
on page 59). The wireless controller uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the
current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is
stamped with the date and time of day.
When the date shown is January 1, 2000, the wireless controller has not yet successfully
reached a network time server. Verify that the wireless controller can reach the Internet. If you
have just completed configuring the wireless controller, wait at least 5 minutes and check the
date and time again.
