D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide To configure the address of the NTP server that the AP uses, click the Time tab and update the fields as described in Table 23. Enabling or Disabling a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server To configure your access point to use a network time protocol (NTP) server, first enable the use of NTP, and then identify the NTP server you want to use. Table 23. SNTP Settings Field Network Time Protocol (NTP) NTP Server Description NTP provides a way for the access point to obtain and maintain its time from a server on the network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in log messages and session information. Choose to either enable or disable use of a network time protocol (NTP) server: • To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click Enabled. • To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click Disabled. If NTP is enabled, select the NTP server you want to use. You can specify the NTP server by host name or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended as these can change more readily. NOTE: After you configure the Time settings, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. 80 © 2001-2008 D-Link Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
