Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the access point to set its
internal clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).
Maintaining an accurate time on the access point enables the system log to
record meaningful dates and times for event entries. If the clock is not set,
the access point will only record the time from the factory default set at the
last bootup.
The access point acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending time
synchronization requests to specific time servers. You can configure up to
two time server IP addresses. The access point will attempt to poll each
server in the configured sequence.
