42 | Configuring AWMS Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | User Guide
1. Locate the Primary and Secondary Network Interface sections. The information in these sections should
match what you defined during initial network configuration and should not require changes. Table 16
describes the settings and default values.
2. On the AMP Setup > Network page, locate the Network Time Protocol (NTP) section. The Network Time
Protocol is used to synchronize the time between AWMS and your network reference NTP server. NTP servers
synchronize with external reference time sources, such as satellites, radios, or modems.
To disable NTP services, clear both the Primary and Secondary NTP server fields. Any problem related to
communication between AWMS and the NTP servers creates an entry in the event log. Table 17 describes the
settings and default values in more detail. For more information on ensuring that AMP servers have the
correct time, please see support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers.
3. On the AMP Setup > Network page, locate the Static Routes area. This section displays network, subnet
mask, and gateway settings that you have defined elsewhere from a command-line interface.
4. Select Save when you have completed all changes on the AMP Setup > Network page, or select Revert to
return to the last settings. Save restarts any affected services and may temporarily disrupt your network
connection.
What Next?
 Go to additional tabs in the AMP Setup section to continue additional setup configurations.
 Complete the required configurations in this chapter before proceeding. Dell support remains available to you for
any phase of AWMS installation.
