Network Time Protocol (NTP) Settings

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’s NTP server. NTP servers synchronize with external reference time sources, such as satellites, radios, or modems.

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

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 1 describes the settings and default values in more detail. For more information on ensuring that AirWave servers have the correct time, please see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers.
