4.5 Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization in the AP-5131-
managed network environment. NTP is a client/server implementation. The AP-5131 (an NTP client)
periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock (an NTP server). For example, the AP-5131
resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server.

Time synchronization is recommended for the AP-5131’s network operations. For sites using Kerberos
authentication, time synchronization is required.

Use the

Date and Time Settings

screen to enable NTP and specify the IP addresses and ports of

available NTP servers.

% Dropped

Enter a maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets
dropped for each device. Dropped packets can be caused by poor
RF signal or interference on the channel.

% Undecryptable

Define a maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets
undecryptable for each device. Undecryptable packets can be the
result of corrupt packets, bad CRC checks or incomplete packets.

Associated MUs

Set a maximum threshold for the total number of MUs associated
with each device.

Minimum number of
packets required for a
trap to fire

Enter the minimum number of packets that must pass through the
device before an SNMP rate trap is sent. Symbol recommends
using the default setting of 1000 as a minimum setting for the field.
