Configure system time settings
Accurate time is critical for correct operation of the MSM710, as the time configured on the
MSM710 is used on all controlled APs. Configure system time settings as follows:
1.
In the management tool, select
Controller >> Management > System time
.
2.
Set the
timezone
and DST as appropriate for your region.
3.
If the MSM710 will be connected to the Internet, select
Set date & time (time servers)
.
By default, the list contains two ntp vendor zone pools that are reserved for HP
ProCurve Networking devices. By using these pools, you will get better service and keep
from overloading the standard ntp.org server.
If the MSM710 will not be connected to the Internet, select
Add
to configure your own
time server, or select
Set date & time (manually)
.
4.
Select
Save
and verify that the date and time are accurately set.
F.
Optionally enable the DHCP server
Caution:
DO NOT enable the MSM710 DHCP server if the network to which the LAN
port will be connected has its own DHCP server.
The MSM710 DHCP server is useful for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices
such as access points (APs) and their wireless clients.
If you choose to use the MSM710 DHCP server, enable it as follows:
1.
Select
Controller >> Network > Address allocation >
DHCP server >
Configure

Define the
Start
and
End
IP addresses. The
Gateway
is automatically assigned based on
the LAN port IP address.

Select
Save
