NTP Configuration

Instead of setting the AirDefense Time (TIME) and Timezone (TZ), you can enable automatic time synchronization with an NTP.

For example, if you change the AirDefense time such as when you move the AirDefense appliances location from the east to west coast of the United States, you must also locate a new network time server in the same time zone.

  1. Type ntp at the command prompt to enable or disable a specific network time server (NTP). The NTP screen displays your current status in bold text, whether or not you are currently set to use NTP.
  2. Type e to enable NTP. You are prompted to enter the IP address or fully qualified host name (hostname.domainname.com) of a network time server. Alternately, you can type d to disable NTP. No additional input is required, NTP is immediately disabled.
  3. To save the network time server settings, type q to quit. You are prompted to save your settings.
    Note

    Note

    Entering an invalid time server generates an error and logs you out of ADSPadmin. Also, changing the time configurations after your AirDefense Appliance has accumulated data can have an adverse affect on the integral state, time, and event associations that are essential to accurate data reporting.
