5.2.1 General Profile Configuration
An access point profile requires unique clock synchronization settings as part of its general configuration.
Network time protocol
(NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization within the access point managed network.
NTP is a client/server implementation. The access point periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock (an NTP server).
For example, the access point resets its clock to 07:04:59 upon reading a time of 07:04:59 from its designated NTP server.
Use the
General
screen of
System Profile
configuration screen to define whether the access point can act as a RF Domain
manager for its RF Domain.
To define a profile’s general configuration:
1. Select the
Configuration
tab from the Web UI.
2. Select
Devices
.
3. Select
System Profile
from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
General
configuration options display by default, with the profile activated for use with this access point model.

4. Select
+ Add Row
below the
Network Time Protocol
(NTP) table to define the configurations of NTP server resources used
to obtain system time. Up to 3 NTP servers can be configured. Set the following parameters to define the NTP configuration:
AutoKey
Select this option to enable an autokey configuration for the NTP resource. The default
setting is disabled.
Key
If an autokey is not being used, manually enter a 64 character maximum key the access
point and NTP resource share to securely interoperate.
Preferred
Select this option designate this particular NTP resource as preferred. If designating
multiple NTP resources, preferred resources are given first opportunity to connect and
provide NTP calibration.
Server IP
Set the IP address of each server added as a potential NTP resource.
