2. From within the Current Time field, click the Refresh button to update the time since the
screen was displayed by the user.
The Current Time field displays the current time based on the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point system clock. If NTP is disabled or if there are no servers available, the system
time displays the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point uptime starting at 1970-01-01
00:00:00, with the time and date advancing.
3. Select the Set Date/Time button to display the Manual Date/Time Setting screen.
This screen enables the user to manually enter the access point’s system time using a
Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format.
This option is disabled when the Enable NTP checkbox has been selected, and therefore
should be viewed as a second means to define the access point system time.
4. If using the Manual Date/Time Setting screen to define the access point’s system time, refer to
the Time Zone field to select the time used to use as complimentary information to the
information entered within the Manual Date/Time Setting screen.
CAUTION
If using the Radius time-based authentication feature to authenticate access point user
permissions, ensure UTC has been selected from the Time Zone field. If UTC is not selected, time
based authentication will not work properly. For information on configuring Radius time-based
authentication, see
“Defining user access permissions by group” on page 211.
5. If using an NTP server to supply system time to the access point, configure the NTP Server
Configuration field to define the server network address information required to acquire the
Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point network time.
