	Option	Default	Description
1.	Time	00:00:00	The system time. At power-up, the Multiserver requests the time from
			locally attached feeder muxes to make sure that the network agrees on
			the time of day. If there are no local feeder mux units, time starts at
			00:00:00. During a keypad warm reset or default value node reset, the
			time resets to 00:00:00.
			After you select this option, the following is displayed:
			ENTER TIME:	[HH:MM:SS]:
			Type in the hour, a colon (:), the minute, a colon, and the second(s) in
			24-hour time. (If the time is 1:00 pm, the display should read 13:00:00.)
			Press N to continue to the the next menu option (the date) or press <cr>
			to re-display the Command Facility Parameters menu. Press M to abort
			the process and return to the Command Facility Main Menu.
2.	Date	00/00	System date in mm/dd (month/day). The month and day will reset to
			00/00 if a hardware reset or default value node reset is performed.
			After you select this option, the following is displayed:
			ENTER DATE:	[MM/DD]:
			Type in the month, a slash, and the day.
			Press N to continue to the the next menu option (Event Reporting) or
			press <cr> to re-display the Command Facility Parameters menu. Press
			M to abort the process and return to the Command Facility Main Menu.
3.	Event Reporting	Off	Toggle on or off. An event is a normal change of state in the system. No
			action is required. The events are reported to the location defined in
			option 7, Output Event/Alarm Reports, detailed below.
4.	Alarm Reporting	On	Toggle on or off. Alarms are messages that report errors in the system
			which directly affect the Multiserver’s performance ability. The alarms are
			reported to the location defined in option 7, Output Event/Alarm Reports.
5.	Switch Statistics	On	Toggle on or off. Switch statistics are messages about switching
	Reporting		conditions: class number, name, number of connects, connect failures,
			and maximum number in queue. This is part of the system statistics
			period report.
