Cabletron Systems HSIM-W6 manual Setting the System Date, Setting the System Time

Chapter 7: General Configuration Using Local Management

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.

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.

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.
