If you want to synchronize the base station to a specific SNTP server, you can do so from the Base Station Management Tool. Before you can set the SNTP server, you must identify the IP address for the server that you want to use. Open your Web browser, and go to your favorite search engine (for example, http://www. msn. com). Enter Time synchronization on the Internet as a search term. Review the search results, and browse to the SNTP server site that you want to use. Write down the IP address for the SNTP server that you have accessed. To synchronize the base station with an SNTP server 1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management. On the Management menu, click Time Settings. Under Synchronize Time to Internet Time Server, type the IP address for the specific SNTP server that you want to use, and then click Add. Repeat step 3 for any additional backup SNTP servers that you want to specify. Chapter 6: Configuring 47 Change the Base Station Password Access to the Base Station Management Tool is password protected so that only users who know the base station password can change your network configuration. If you ran the Setup Wizard, you were prompted to establish a password. If you did not run the Setup Wizard, your default password is admin. You can change the base station password from the Base Station Management Tool. It is a good idea to change your password every two to three months, or more frequently if you are concerned that an unauthorized person has administrative access to the base station. If at any point you restore the factory default settings for the base station, the default password admin is also restored. You can use this password to access the base station, and then create a new password at the earliest opportunity. When you change your base station password, be sure to update your backup file. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management.
