Chapter 5: Local Management

5.7.5Setting the Device Date

The 2H22-08R is year 2000 compliant so that the Device 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 Device Date field.

2.Enter the date in an MM/DD/YYYY format.

NOTE

It is not necessary to add separators between month, day, and year numbers, as long as each entry has the correct number of numeric characters. For example, to set the date to 03/17/1997, type “03171997” in the Device Date field.

3.Press ENTER to set the system calendar to the date in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the date entered is in a valid format, the message displays “SAVED OK” at the top of the screen. If the entry is not valid, Local Management refreshes the TFTP Gateway IP Address field with the previous value.

5.7.6Setting the Device Time

To set the device clock, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Device Time field.

2.Enter the time in a 24-hour format, HH:MM:SS.

NOTE

When entering the time in the system time field, separators between hours, minutes, and seconds are not needed as long as each entry uses two numeric characters. For example, to set the time to 6:45 A.M., type “064500” in the Device Time field.

3.Press ENTER to set the system clock to the time in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.
