Time Protocol

The Network Time Protocol (

NTP

) is an Internet standard protocol that synchronizes computer clock times

on your network. NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean
Time
) to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp
to adjust its clock. The timestamp will be used to indicate the date and time of each event in log messages.
See

http://www.ntp.org

for more general information on NTP.

To enable the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server on the access point do the following:

1. Enable the NTP Server

set ntp status up

2. Provide the Host Name or Address of an NTP Server

set ntp server NTP_Server

Where NTP_Server is the host name or IP address of

the NTP server you want to use. (USRobotics recom-

mends using the host name rather than the IP address, since IP addresses these change more frequently.)

For example, this command sets the NTP server by host name to "

ntp.instant802.com"

set ntp server ntp.instant802.com

3. Get Current Time Protocol Settings
