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.
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.

Description
Network Time Protocol
(NTP)
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.
NTP Server
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.
