When a subscriber unit registers with the sector controller, the IP address will now be
assigned by the DHCP server.
Step 1
You can verify the subscriber’s IP address from the main menu by selecting Monitoring >
SS Info.
Step 2
You can also verify the IP address by connecting directly to the subscriber unit using
Telnet. The SUO IP address is displayed on the SS Info page. See “Connecting to the
Subscriber Unit Command Line Interface” on page 2-6.
Configuring a Time of Day Server
Time servers are stand-alone devices that obtain and distribute the correct time to all
devices and host machine in your network. It is important to note that the AN100U/UX
supports only SNTP (RFC-2030), while the subscriber units support only ToD (RFC-868).
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used to synchronize the real-time clock
in computers, network devices and other electronic equipment that is time sensitive.
The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) can be obtained over the Internet, which contains
numerous primary and secondary time servers, or it can be acquired from stand-alone
devices that receive atomic clock signals from the GPS system.
ToD (RFC-868) provides timestamps for logged events. This is required for
troubleshooting. Network elements periodically request the time of day from the time
server that is specified in their DHCP response.
Both Windows and Solaris provide ToD services. Refer to the documentation provided with
your OS for details on configuring ToD services.
