TIME AND DATE

Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to set the system clock at the NMIC in the Gateway Network Element (GNE). The NMIC maintains the system clock for the entire network and supports requests from the system administrator to change the system clock. The NMIC synchronizes every NE’s time-of-day clock to the NMIC time-of-day clock.

1.Using the left mouse button, select the Configuration pull down menu, and then select the first item Time and Date (or hit Alt+C, and Alt+D).

2.Select either Absolute (Alt+A) or Relative (Alt+R) and go to the appropriate heading below. Refer to Figure 707-1.

Note: Absolute allows the user to set the time and date to the absolute time specified. This is needed for turn-up or instances when the clock is more than an hour off. Relative allows the user to adjust the clock in seconds either forward or backwards, up to one hour, when smaller adjustments are needed.

5.After all selections have been made, select Apply.
