Enabling the Time Settings (NTP)
Use the
Time Settings
page to specify the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to use to provide time and date
information to the AP or to configure the time and date information manually.
NTP is an Internet standard protocol that synchronizes computer clock times on your network. NTP servers transmit
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to their client systems. NTP sends periodic
time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date
and time of each event in log messages.
See
http://www.ntp.org
for more information about NTP.
