SNMP
The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface. The
management agent is compatible with SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c using 5 Management Information Base (MIB) files
which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website

Network Time Protocol (NTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a
connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time zone and
daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular
intervals.
PTP 450 devices may receive NTP data from a CMM3 or CMM4 module, an NTP server configured in the
system’s management network or a UGPS module.
The Time Zone option is configurable on the BHM’s Time Configuration page, and may be used to offset the
received NTP time to match the operator’s local time zone. When set on the BHM, the offset will be set for the
entire sector (BHSs will be notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is
applied, the BHSs will be notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some BHSs may not pick up the
change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log of the BHM and BHS.
An BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS synchronization
source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM may request NTP date and
time information from the BHM. No additional configuration (other than the BHM receiving valid NTP data) is
required to use the BHM as an NTP server.
