Network Time
Network Time Protocol (NTP) 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 NTP client, periodically sending time synchronization
requests to specified time servers. The access point will attempt to poll each server
in the configured sequence to receive a time update.
