Defining AirWave Network Settings
The next step in configuring AirWave is to confirm the AirWave network settings. Define these settings by
navigating to the AMP Setup > Network page. Figure 17 illustrates the contents of this page.
Figure 17 AMP Setup > Network Page Illustration
Perform the following steps to define the AirWave network settings:
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 19
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 AirWave 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 AirWave and the NTP servers creates an entry in the event log. Table 20 describes
the settings and default values in more detail. For more information on ensuring that AMP servers have the
correct time, please see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers.
Table 19 Primary and Secondary Network Interface Fields and Default Values

Gateway None Sets the default gateway for the network interface.
Primary DNS IP None Sets the primary DNS IP address for the network interface.

Secondary Network
Interface
No Select Yes to enable a secondary network interface. You must also define the IP

NOTE: Specifying NTP servers is optional. NTP servers synchronize the time on the AirWave server, not on individual access
points.
