SNTP Server
The Base Station Unit typically derives the time and date from an SNTP (Simple
Network Time Protocol) server identified by the DHCP server. The BSU includes
time zone and daylight savings time parameters which it applies to the received time
and date as appropriate.
NOTE: Alternatively, date and time can be set via the Web and SNMP interfaces.
Subscriber Indoor Units use the BSU as their time server.
DNS Server
The DHCP server should identify an DNS server to be used in the resolution of
Internet domain names.
SMTP Server
The PacketWave Base Station Unit can use email to announce events. If this feature
is to be used, an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server must be specified.
System Log Server (Syslog)
If a Syslog server is identified either by the DHCP server or in the BSU configuration,
the Base Station Unit will log all events to the specified server using the standard
Syslog protocol.
SNMP Manager
PacketWave Base Stations and subscriber Indoor Units include built-in SNMP (Sim-
ple Network Management Protocol) agents. These agents can be accessed by SNMP
managers as specified in the system configuration.
NOTE: PacketWave SNMP agents use SNMP v.2 syntax for objects.
