To use the access point as an SNTP server
: Select
SNTP Server Disable,
specify
time values in the spaces provided, select the time zone from the pull-down list. If
you select
Enable Daylight Saving
, the time adjusts automatically for standard and
daylight savings time. When the SNTP Server setting is disabled, date and time
settings revert to the defaults after an access point is reset, affecting the accuracy
of log reports. To avoid this situation, enable the SNTP server setting and allow
the access point to obtain the date and time from an SNTP server. (The event log
page displays the default time after a reset until the access point receives the
correct information from the SNTP server.)
