Defining AWMS Network Settings

The next step in configuring AWMS is to confirm the AMP network settings. Define these settings by navigating
to the AMP Setup > Network page.

Perform the following steps to define the AWMS network settings:
1. Locate the Primary and Secondary Network Interface sections. The information in these sections should
match what you defined during initial network configuration and should not require changes.

2. On the AMP Setup > Network page, locate the Network Time Protocol (NTP) section. The Network Time
Protocol is used to synchronize the time between AWMS and your network reference NTP server. NTP servers
synchronize with external reference time sources, such as satellites, radios, or modems.
Note: Specifying NTP servers is optional. NTP servers synchronize the time on the AWMS server, not on individual access points.
Secondary network interface options may include multiple telnet terminal configurations, DHCP/BOOTP auto-configuration, time
zone offsets, daylight savings time, and NTP addressing modes such as unicast, broadcast, and multicast. Secondary NTP
information is only supported on AWMS that have multiple interfaces.
To disable NTP services, clear both the Primary and Secondary NTP server fields. Any problem related to
communication between AWMS and the NTP servers creates an entry in the event log.
