System management Product description
1-22
pmp-0047 (December 2012)
PMP 450 devices may receive NTP data from a CMM3 or CMM4 module, or from an NTP server configured in the
system’s management network.
The Time Zone option is configurable on the AP’s Time Configuration page, and may be used to offset the received
NTP time to match the operator’s local time zone. When set on the AP, the offset will be set for the entire sector
(SMs will be notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the
SMs will be notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some SMs may not pick up the change until the
next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log of the AP and SM.
