Each device requires area, floor, and floor number configuration. Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and network clock synchronization within the network. NTP is a client or server implementation. Controllers, service platforms, and access points (NTP clients) periodically synchronize their clock with a main clock, which is an NTP server.
to create a new NTP Server for the device and
define NTP server resource configurations.| Server IP | Set the IP address of each server added as a potential NTP resource |

| Version | Use the spinner control to select a version between 0 to 4. The default version is 0 |
| Minimum Polling Interval | Use the drop-down list box to select minimum polling interval. After the interval is set, the NTP resource is polled no sooner than the defined interval. Options include 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024 seconds. The default setting is 64 seconds |
| Maximum Polling Interval | Use the drop-down list box to select the maximum polling interval. After the interval is set, the NTP resource is polled no later then the defined interval. Options include 1024, 2048, 4096, or 8192 seconds. The default setting is 1024 seconds |
