Important

When setting the time zone from On-board Remote Management, it automatically corrects for daylight savings time. From the front panel of the autoloader, you have to correct for daylight savings time manually.

Setting the system time

The system time is displayed by On-board Remote Management and it is used internally for logging events and errors (see “Setting the time” on page 29).

The time must be reset after each power up. The time can be reset automatically if a time server is configured (see “Setting Ethernet” on page 26). Otherwise, the time must be set manually from the front panel or through On-board Remote Management. The time zone setting is not lost when powered off.

To set the system time:

1Using the first list next to Time Zone, select the number of hours difference between your local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

For example, if you live in Colorado, the time difference is - 6 hours during Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) and - 7 hours during Mountain Standard Time (MST).

2Below the Time Zone field, select the current month from the list.

3In the Day field, type the current day of the month.

4In the Year field, type the current year.

5In the Hour box, type the current hour in 24-hour format.

6In the Minute box, type the current minute.

7Click Submit to save the information.

Setting network options

When you originally installed the autoloader, you set the Ethernet configurations through the front LCD panel. However, you can modify them through On-board Remote Management. The options include Current Network Parameters, Set IP, and Set Network Configuration.

To view the Current Network Parameters:

1From any page, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.

2Click Networking. The Current Network Parameters area shows the current IP address, MAC address, and the speed setting for the Ethernet connection.

In the Set IP section, if a check mark appears in the box next to DHCP, the dynamic IP address option is enabled. This means that with every reset of the system, the IP address may change depending on the network administrator's settings.

To set the IP address:

1Click the box to remove the check mark from the DHCP field, if applicable.

2In the IP address fields, type the static IP address using the TAB key to move from box to box.
