The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is used to synchronize computer clocks on a TCP/IP network. You can
configure the SNTP settings using Web Based Management.
SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as a Service Set Identifier
(SSID). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless network devices you
want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access point and wireless network
devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as beacons), which contain the SSID information. When your
wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio
waves to reach your device.

Status Monitor
The Status Monitor utility is a configurable utility for Macintosh users to monitor the status of one or more devices,

Subnet Mask
A subnet mask allows you to identify which part of an IP address is used as the network address and which part is
used as the host address.
In the following example, the last segment of the IP address is known as the host address and the first three
segments are the network address.
Example: Computer 1 can talk to Computer 2
• Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE: 0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address .
