To have each log in the AP correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network
element must pass time and date to the AP or you must set the time and date whenever a power
cycle of the AP has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following
scenarios:
• A connected CMM2 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received).
• A connected CMMmicro passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if received), but only if
both the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later release. (These releases
include an NTP server functionality.)
• A separate NTP server is addressable from the AP.
If the AP should obtain time and date from a CMMmicro, CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter
the IP address of the CMM or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP to obtain time and date
before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time through
NTP.
If you enter a time and date, the format for entry is
Time :
hh
/
mm
/
ss
Date :
MM
/
dd
/
yyyy
where
hh
represents the two-digit hour in the range 00 to 24
mm
represents the two-digit minute
ss
represents the two-digit second
MM
represents the two-digit month
dd
represents the two-digit day
yyyy
represents the four-digit year
Proceed with the test setup as follows.
• Enter the appropriate information in the format shown above.
• Then click the Set Time and Date button.

Procedure 8: Setting up the SM for test
1. In one hand, securely hold the top (larger shell) of the SM. With the other hand,
depress the lever in the back of the base cover (smaller shell). Remove the base
cover.
2. Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the SM RJ-45 jack.
3. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack in the pig tail that hangs
from the power supply.
4. Roughly aim the SM toward the AP.
