Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using radio
waves. Wi-Fi and Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) are used to make installation and setup as simple as possible. All you
need to do is power your preconfigured clock in an area where the intended wireless local area network (WLAN) signal strength
is sufficient.
Each Wi-Fi clock is factory-configured to receive the precise time signal from your network time server. They also automatically
correct for the Daylight Saving Time changes and require no maintenance for up to 5+ years. These Wi-Fi clocks only require
synchronization twice per day using SNTP and create very little network traffic.
Network
These preconfigured Wi-Fi Clocks are plug and play on networks with Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol (DHCP). A limited
access point mode is also available for clocks that are not preconfigured at American Time as recommended.
