Setting the
System Date and
Time
Setting the system date and time is important if you configured the chassis
to send traps to your management workstations. If the time is not set,
traps do not contain the correct date and time. Therefore, it becomes
difficult for you to determine when the events represented by the traps
occurred.
One way to set the system date and time is manually setting it using the
AT-S70 software menu interface. When you set the date and time
manually, the chassis loses the values when it is reset or power cycled.
Therefore, you must reset the values whenever you reset the chassis.
To set the system’s date and time, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration.
The System Configuration Menu, shown in Figure 5 on page 35, is
displayed.
2. Adjust the following parameters as necessary:
System Date(mm/dd/yy)
Enter a date for the system in the “mm/dd/yy”. Use two numbers to
specify for the day, month, and year. Separate the values with slashes.
Select the System Time(hh:mm:ss)
Enter the new system real time in the “hh:mm:ss” format. Use two
numbers to specify for the hours, minutes, and seconds. Separate the
values with colons.
Note
If the AT-CV5M01 CPM card is reset or power cycled, the system
and time settings will be lost. You will need to re-enter the date and
time information.
