Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP)

4

To manage clock synchronization on the Mobility 5181 Access Point:

1. Select System Configuration - > Date/Time from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.

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 Mobility 5181 Access Point
system clock. If NTP is disabled or if there are no servers available, the system time displays
the Mobility 5181 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.
