System time settings 27

Set system time

This section displays the current system time. You can configure the time manually or have it

automatically configured by a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

Manually

Select the date, time (in 24-hour notation), and timezone.

Using network time protocol (NTP)

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 is used to indicate the date and time of each event in

the system log or syslog messages.

When you select this option, a field displays for you to specify the NTP server. You can specify

the NTP hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended, as these

are more likely to change. If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:

• The length must be from 1 to 63 characters.

• Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.

• The first character must be a letter (a to z or A to Z), and the last character cannot be a

hyphen.

A actual NTP server host name, pool.ntp.org, is configured by default and will provide the

time when the AP is connected to the Internet.
