When the EtherneTV-NXG is working in conjunction with the EtherneTV-MCS Media Control Server, in order for the time to appear correctly, it is necessary to set the time zone to match that of the EtherneTV-MCS server.

In order to manually change the time zone, follow the directions below to edit the /etc/sysconfig/clock file and then make a new soft link to /etc/localtime.

1)From the Linux prompt, type "startx<cr>". This launches the Red Hat graphical user interface.

2)Open a command line interface from the GUI

3)Type /etc/init.d/mediabase stop

4)At the lower right corner of the screen, right click on the "time" and select "Adjust Date & Time"

5)From the pull-down menu, select the time zone you are in. For example, "America/Detroit", then click "apply and "OK" to close the window. Adjust the time as needed.

6)Return to the command line interface and type /etc/init.d/mediabase start

7)At the lower left corner of the screen, right click on the "Red Hat" icon and select "logout" and click on the "Logout" button to return to the Linux prompt.
