5.2.1 General Profile Configuration

System Profile Configuration
An access point profile requires unique clock synchronization settings as part of its general configuration.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization within the access point managed network.
NTP is a client/server implementation. The access point periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock (an NTP server).
For example, the access point resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server.
Use the General screen of System Profile configuration screen to configure if the access point can act as a RF Domain manager
for the RF Domain that it is a member of. Use this option to configure the various options required for the access point to
become a manager.
To define a profile's general configuration:
1. Select the Configuration
2. Select Devices.
3. Select System Profile
General configuration options display by default, with the profile activated for use with this access point model.
4. Select + Add Row

Select this option to enable an autokey configuration for the NTP resource. The default
setting is disabled.
If an autokey is not being used, manually enter a 64 character maximum key the access
point and NTP resource share to securely interoperate.
Select this option designate this particular NTP resource as preferred. If designating
multiple NTP resources, preferred resources will be given first opportunity to connect and
provide NTP calibration.
