Default Interface — Use this field to select the default interface for the HSIM-W6 default
gateway. The default interface is the channel which is set up to handle SNMP traps sent to an IP
station that is not on the same subnet as the HSIM-W6 in an IP routed environment. The default
setting for this field is NONE DEFINED. To set the default interface for the default gateway of the
HSIM-W6, refer to
Setting the Default Interface .
Setting the System Date
The HSIM-W6 is year 2000 compliant so that the System Date field can be set beyond the year
1999. To set the system date, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the System Date field.
2. ENTER the date in an MM/DD/YYYY format.
3. Press ENTER to set the system date.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press
ENTER.
If the date entered was a valid format, the Event Message field at the top of the screen displays
“SAVED OK”. If the entry was not valid, Local Management does not alter the current value
and refreshes the System Date field with the previous value.
Setting the System Time
To set the system time, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the System Time field.
2. ENTER the time in a 24-hour format, HH:MM:SS.
NOTE
When entering the date in the system date field, you do not need to add separators
between month, day, and year numbers, as long as each entry uses two decimal
numbers. For example, to set the date to 03/17/1997, type “03171997” in the System
Date field.
