Note: After you configure the Time settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save
the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this
happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP
settings when WLAN traffic is low.

Table 42: NTP Settings
Description
NTP provides a way for the AP to obtain and maintain its time from a server on
the network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the
correct time of day in log messages and session information.
Choose to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to determine the system
time, or set the system time manually:
• To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click Using Network Time Protocol
(NTP).
• To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click Manually.
If NTP is enabled, specify the NTP server to use.
You can specify the NTP server by hostname or IP address, although using the
IP address is not recommended as these can change more readily.
If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:
• The length must be between 1 – 6 3 characters.
• Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.
• The first character must be a letter (a – z or A – Z ), and the last character
cannot be a hyphen.
Specify the current month, day, and year.
Specify the current time in hours and minutes. The system uses a 24‐hour
clock, so 6:00 PM is configured as 18:00.
Select your local time zone from the menu. The default is USA (Pacific).
Select to have the system adjust the reported time for Daylight Savings Time
(DST). When this field is selected, fields to configure Daylight Savings Time
settings appear.
Configure the date and time to begin Daylight Savings Time for the System
Time.
Configure the date and time to end Daylight Savings Time for the System Time.
Select the number of minutes to offset DST. The default is 60 minutes.
