Establish Base Station Time Zone
The base station uses the date and time for client filtering and to
time stamp entries to the base station log.
The base station system clock is set to the Pacific time zone by
default. You can change the base station time zone from the Base
Station Management Tool.
To change the base station time zone
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click
Management.
2. On the Management menu, click Set Time.
3. Under Base Station Time Zone, in the drop-down list box, click
the time zone you want.
4. Select the Adjust automatically for daylight saving time check
box if you want the base station to adjust for daylight-saving
time.
5. If you selected the Adjust automatically for daylight saving
time check box, type the date that you want daylight-saving time
to start and the date that you want daylight-saving time to end.
You must update these dates each year to correspond with
daylight-saving time.
6. Click Update Time Settings to ensure that the changes that you
made are saved.
Synchronize Time to Internet Time Server
The base station automatically attempts to synchronize with one of
a set of Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) servers when it is
connected to the Internet. If you want to synchronize the base
station to a specific SNTP server, you can do so from the Base
Station Management Tool. Before you can set the SNTP server, you
must identify the IP address for the server that you want to use.
To locate an SNTP server
1. Open your Web browser, and go to your favorite search engine
(for example, http://www.msn.com).
2. Type Time synchronization on the Internet as a search term.
3. Review the search results, and browse to the SNTP server site
that you want to use.
4. Write down the IP address for the SNTP server that you have
accessed.
To synchronize the base station with an SNTP server
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click
Management.
