The wireless bridge acts as an SNTP client, periodically sending
time synchronization requests to specific time servers. You can
configure up to two time server IP addresses. The wireless bridge
will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
SNTP Server – Configures the wireless bridge to operate as an
SNTP client. When enabled, at least one time server IP address
must be specified.
Primary Server: The IP address of an SNTP or NTP time
server that the wireless bridge attempts to poll for a time
update.
Secondary Server: The IP address of a secondary SNTP or
NTP time server. The wireless bridge first attempts to update
the time from the primary server; if this fails it attempts an
update from the secondary server.
Note: The wireless bridge also allows you to disable SNTP and set the
system clock manually using the CLI.
Set Time Zone – SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or
UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT) based on the time
at the Earth’s prime meridian, zero degrees longitude. To display
a time corresponding to your local time, you must indicate the
number of hours your time zone is located before (east) or after
(west) UTC.
Enable Daylight Saving – The wireless bridge provides a way to
automatically adjust the system clock for Daylight Savings Time
changes. To use this feature you must define the month and date
to begin and to end the change from standard time. During this
period the system clock is set back by one hour.
