Figure 51: Time & Date screen, AP
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.)
− the AP is operating on Canopy System Release 4.2 or later release.
(These releases include an NTP client functionality.)
◦ A separate NTP server is addressable from the AP, and the AP is operating on
Canopy System Release 4.2 or later release.
If the AP should derive time and date from either a CMMmicro or a separate NTP server,
enter the IP address of the CMMmicro or NTP server on this web page. To force the AP
to derive time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP
server, click Get Time through NTP.
