Chapter 1: Product description System managementPage 1-22The Time Zone option is configurable on the AP’s/BHM’s Time Configuration page, and may beused to offset the received NTP time to match the operator’s local time zone. When set on theAP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone uponinitial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in abest effort fashion, meaning some AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log.An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPSsynchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to theBHM may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration(other than the AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.Wireless Manager (WM)Cambium Networks Wireless Manager 4.0 is recommended for managing 450 Platform Familynetworks.
