To set the time and date on the MCC card:

1.Select Card Selection (B) from the HotWire Chassis Main Menu.

2.At the Goto Card (MCC or DSLnn): prompt, enter MCC or M.

3.Select Configuration → Card Status → Time/Date (A-A-C).

4.Enter values for the following fields and press Return after each entry:

Local Time/Date	Current local time and date.	hh.mm (am or pm)
		mm/dd/yy format

	protocol with address
	(Unicast).

	time and date.

*While this field is optional, it is recommended that a value be entered to ensure the time of the DSLAM stays in synch with ªreal time.º

NOTE:

At system boot time, the time on the DSL card automatically syncs with the MCC card. Therefore, it is usually not necessary to use this screen on the DSL. If there are active DHCP-leased routes on the card, changing the local time is not recommended.

5. Press Ctrl-z to return to the Configuration → Card Status menu.
