SNTP

SNTP allows a network entity to communicate with time servers in the network/internet to retrieve and synchronize time
of day information. When this feature is enabled, the AP will attempt to retrieve the time of day information from the
configured time servers (primary or secondary), and, if successful, will update the relevant time objects in the AP. If the
AP fails to retrieve the information after three attempts, the AP will use the system uptime and update the relevant time
objects. If this feature is disabled, the user cannot configure the date and time parameters.
SNTP Features
• SNTP Status: This parameter is used to enable or disable the SNTP functionality.
• Primary Server Name Or IP Address: This parameter is used for the primary SNTP server IP address name.
• Secondary Server Name Or IP Address: This parameter is used for the secondary SNTP server IP address name.
• Time Zone: This parameter is used to specify the appropriate time zone.
Day Light Saving Time: This parameter is used to indicate the number of hours to adjust for Daylight Saving Time.

Interface Statistics

Statistics feature provides you the information about the various interfaces that are available for the Access Points. The
sub-features that are available are described below:
Station Statistics
Station Statistics display information on wireless clients attached to the AP.
• VAP Number: The VAP number on which the client is connected with the AP.
• MAC Address: The MAC address of the wireless client for which the statistics are gathered.
• Rx Data Frames: The number of data frames that are received.
• Tx Data Frames: The number of data frames that are transmitted.
• RSSI: This represents the Received Signal Strength of the Station.
• Tx Rate: This parameter represents the transmission rate of the station.
• State: This parameter represents the present status of the station.
Wireless Statistics
Wireless Statistics display information on the wireless interface.
• Description: Information about the interface (e.g., the name of the manufacturer, the product name and the version of
the hardware interface).
• Type: This displays the type of interface.
• MTU: Maximum Transfer Unit is the largest size of IP datagram which may be transferred using a specific data link
connection. The size of MTU may vary greatly between different links.
• Physical Address: The wireless interface's address at the protocol layer immediately below the network layer in the
protocol stack.
• Operational Status: The current state of the interface: Up (ready to pass packets), Down (not ready to pass packets,
or Testing (testing and unable to pass packets).
• Last Change: The value of the sysUpTime object at the time the interface entered its current operational state.
• In Octets: The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
• In Ucast Packets: The number of subnetwork unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
• In Nucast Packets: The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets
delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
