5.1.1 System Time

Connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server allows the AP to synchronize

the system clock to the global internet. The synchronized clock in the AP is used to control client

filtering. The polling time is the time period that the AP sends requests for the correct time. Note

that the polling time can not be less than 3600 sec. Click

5.1.2 Administrator Setting

Set a password to restrict management access to the access point. If you want to manage the

access point from a remote location (outside of the local network), you must also specify the IP
