SNTP Server

Simple Network Time Protocol is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to synchronize computers clocks on the internet. In this window you can clarify certain design features to ensure accurate and reliable operation.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

Select Enable if your network uses SNTP. If you want to turn SNTP off, select Disable.

When SNTP is enabled, an SNTP Status field appears. This field indicates whether SNTP is synchronized or unsynchronized. Click Refresh to update this status.

Time Server (optional)

If your network has a default time server, enter the server's IP address or host name.

SNTP Status

When you enable SNTP, this field displays the current status. Synchronized means the access point has been synched up with the distributed time server (NTP server). Unsynchronized means the access point is not synched up with the NTP server. This parameter appears only on the 1100 and 1200 access points.

Time Settings

GMT Offset

The GMT Offset drop-down menu lists the world's time zones relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Select the time zone in which the access point operates.

Use Daylight Savings Time (United States Only)

Select yes to have the access point automatically adjust to Daylight Savings Time.

Manually Set Date

Enter the current date to override the time server or to set the date if no server is available. When entering the date, use forward-slashes to separate the year, month, and day. For example, you would enter 2001/02/17 for February 17, 2001.

Manually Set Time

Enter the current time to override the time server or to set the time if no server is available. When entering the time, use colons to separate the hours, minutes, and seconds. For example, you would enter 18:25:00 for 6:25 pm.
