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.

ntp status up

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

ntp server

NTP_Server

Where NTP_Server is the host name or IP address of the NTP server
you want to use

.

(Allied Telesyn recommends using the host name

rather than the IP address, because IP addresses change more
frequently.)

For example, this command sets the NTP server by host name to
"ntp.at-wa7400.com":

ntp server ntp.

at-wa7400

.com

3. Get the Current Time Protocol Settings.
