Setting System Parameters

You can set some general system parameters to ensure the router’s
compatibility with the public network, and to aid network administration.

Some services, for instance ISDN, use slightly different versions in different
countries. To make sure that the router uses protocols consistent with the
services it is connected to, set the system territory to the country or region in
which your router operates. Enter the command:

SET SYSTEM TERRITORY={AUSTRALIA|CHINA|EUROPE|JAPAN|KOREA|

NEWZEALAND|USA}

In Australia only: to use the Micro service, SET SYSTEM LOCATION=australia; to
use the OnRamp service, SET SYSTEM LOCATION=europe.

System name, location and contact parameters can help a remote network
administrator identify the router. By convention the system name is the full
domain name. Set the name of the router, for example:

SET SYSTEM NAME=nd1.co.nz

the location of the router, for example:

SET SYSTEM LOCATION=”Head Office, 3rd floor east”

and a contact name and phone number for the network administrator
responsible for the router, for example:

SET SYSTEM CONTACT=”Anna Brown 03-456 789”

The name, location, and contact are strings 1 to 80 characters in length of any
printable character. If the string includes spaces enclose the string in double
quotes.

Set the router’s real time clock to the current local time in 24 hour notation
(hh:mm:ss), for example:

SET TIME=14:50:00

and to the current date (dd-mmm-yy, or dd-mmm-yyyy), for example:

SET DATE=29-JAN-02

or

SET DATE=29-JAN-2003
