A system clock is used to provide a network-synchronized time-stamping service
for software events such as message logs. You can configure the system clock
manually or configure the WAP device as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client
that obtains the clock data from a server.
Use the Time Settings page to set the system time manually or to configure the
system to acquire its time settings from a preconfigured NTP server. By default,
the WAP is configured to obtain its time from a predefined list of NTP servers.
To display this page, click Administration > Time Settings in the navigation
window.
The current system time displays at the top of the page, along with the System
Clock Source option.
To use NTP to have the WAP device automatically acquire its time settings:
For the System Clock Source field, select Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Configure these parameters:
• NTP Server—Specify the IP address or domain name of an NTP server. A
default NTP server is listed.
• Time Zone—Select the time zone for your location.
Select Adjust Time for Daylight Savings if daylight savings time is applicable to
your time zone. When selected, configure these fields:
• Daylight Savings Start—Select which week, day, month, and time when
daylight savings time starts.
