Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide
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.
By using NTP, the AP can obtain and maintain its time from a server on the network.
Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in
log messages and session information.
See http://www.ntp.org
To configure the NTP that the access point uses manually as shown in
on page 47 or by using a server as shown in
tab and update the fields as described in
for more information about NTP.
