How to configure MAX BR1MK2 as NTP server?

[ebourlet]

Can someone point me in the direction of instructions on how to configure the MAX BR-1MK2 as an NTP time server?
I need mobile devices connected to the AP to be able to sync time to the MAX BR1MK2.

The NTP time server is not in production code yet, but it is in 8.1 RC1

Here’s a screenshot of where it should be…

Having unit be an NTP time server would be helpful

@mldowling Please check the below 8.1.0 beta3 features improvement using Peplink device (supported models) as NTP server. It’s important that you have to make sure the Peplink device having correct system time in-order the NTP server will work correctly. For device models that support GPS, GPS time can now be use as the source for system time. We have 3 options now for the time sync option.

I would post that last screenshot to the forum topic on 8.1 RC1 and let them know there is a bug for that hardware model.

@MartinLangmaid, @mldowling, @Rick-DC and other fellow partners As promised by Engineering team, the test firmware for LAN NTP server feature is ready for partner. You can download the test firmware using the followings URL: As for now , the test firmware is only available for the below device models that having RTC Chipset (RTC - Battery powered time storage to keeps time running even router is po…

The Pepwave MAX BR1 Mk2 does not support the new NTP server features as it does not contain an RTC (real-time chipset) with the battery as mentioned here:

@mldowling As for now , the LAN NTP service will work as below: Client devices → LAN NTP → System Time (Router) System time have 2 sources: RTC - Battery powered time storage to keeps time running even router is power off. System (Router) synced with External NTP server Depend on System Time Server settings : LAN/WAN/SpeedFusion For you requirements above, please send me your project info and we can discuss what we can help for that.

There is no bug with the firmware in your model as the NTP Server component does not exist within.
Happy to Help,
Marcus

Thanks, but that makes no sense when there is a GPS built in and Its always powered with DC power.
I wonder why it has the setting under Time to set it to GPS with server fallback. I hope that they add it.
