NOTE

A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied. To

remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s Device Overrides field and select Clear Overrides. This
will remove all overrides from the device.

Select

+ Add Row

below the Network Time Protocol (NTP) table to define (or override) the

configurations of NTP server resources used it obtain system time. Set the following parameters to
define the NTP configuration:

8

Select

OK

to save the changes and overrides made to the general profile configuration. Select

Reset

to

revert to the last saved configuration.

Refer to the following to complete the override of the access point’s entire profile configuration:

●

“Radio Power Overrides”

●

“Adoption Overrides”

●

“Profile Interface Override Configuration”

AutoKey

Select the radio button to enable an autokey configuration for the NTP
resource. This is a key randomly generated for use between the access
point and its NTP resource. The default setting is disabled.

Key

If an autokey is not being utilized, you must manually enter a 64 character
maximum key shared for interoperation.

Prefer

Select the radio button to designate this particular NTP resource as
preferred. If designating multiple NTP resources, preferred resources will be
given first opportunity to connect to and provide NTP calibration.

Server IP

Set the IP address of each server added as a potential NTP resource.
