The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an Internet standard protocol that
synchronizes computer clock times on your network 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 log messages
See http://www .ntp .org for more information about NTP
To configure the address of the NTP server that the AP uses or to set the system
time manually, click the Configuration > Administration > Time Settings tab and
