TQ6000 GEN2 Access Points User's Guide
Setting the Date and Time with the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
50
The access point has a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client for setting its
date and time from an Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server on
your network or the Internet. The access point adds the date and time to
log messages and SNMP traps.
Here are the guidelines to using the client:
You need to know the domain name or IPv4 address of an SNTP
server on your network or the Internet. You can specify only one
server.
The access point must have an IPv4 address and subnet mask.
The access point must also have a default gateway address if the
NTP server is on a different subnet or network. The default
gateway must specify the first router hop to the subnet or network
of the SNTP server.
The client is compatible with SNTP servers. It is not compatible
with NTP servers.
To configure the NTP client, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Settings > System from the main menu.
2. Select Time from the sub-menu. Refer to Figure 13 on page 53.
3. From the Set System Time pull-down menu, select Using Network
Time Protocol (NTP). The window is updated with new options. Refer
to Figure 11.
