SNTP Server Settings Configures the access point to operate as an SNTP client. When enabled, at least
one time server IP address must be specified.
◆ SNTP Status — Enables/disables SNTP. (Default: enabled)
◆ Primary Server — The IP address of an SNTP or NTP time server that the access
point attempts to poll for a time update.
◆ Secondary Server — The IP address of a secondary SNTP or NTP time server.
The access point first attempts to update the time from the primary server; if
this fails it attempts an update from the secondary server.
Time Zone Setting SNTP uses Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT (sometimes referred to as Coordinated
Universal Time, or UTC) based on the time at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero
degrees longitude. To display a time corresponding to your local time, you must
indicate the number of hours your time zone is located before (east) or after (west)
GMT.
◆ Time Zone — Select from the scroll down list the locale you are situated most
close to, for example for New York, select ‘(GMT-05) Eastern Time (US & Canada)’.
Daylight Saving
Settings
The access point provides a way to automatically adjust the system clock for
Daylight Savings Time changes. To use this feature you must define the month and
date to begin and to end the change from standard time. During this period the
system clock is set back by one hour.
◆ Daylight Saving Status — Enalbes/disables daylight savings time. (Default:
disabled)
When enabled, set the month, day, and week to start and stop the daylight
savings time.
VLAN Configuration
VLANs (virtual local area networks) are turned off by default when first installing the
access point. If turned on they will automatically tag any packets received by the
LAN port before sending them on to the relevant VAP (virtual access point).
The access point can employ VLAN tagging support to control access to network
resources and increase security. VLANs separate traffic passing between the access
point, associated clients, and the wired network. There can be a default VLAN for
each VAP (Virtual Access Point) interface, and a management VLAN for the access
point.
