Setting Time and Date Screen
When you select Time/Date from the Card Status menu, the Time/Date screen is
displayed. From this screen, you can configure the local time and date on the
card.
Procedure
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:
Field Description Input
Local Time/Date Current local time and date. hh.mm ( am or pm )
mm/dd/yy format
Client Network Time
Protocol (NTP) Mode General time protocol (Broadcast) or specific time
protocol with address
(Unicast).
Broadcast or Unicast
(Default = broadcast)
NTP Server* IP address of the NTP
server.
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format
Synchronized(hrs) How often the system
should go out looking for the
time and date to
synchronize the system
time and date.
1–24
*While this field is optional, it is recommended that a value be entered to ensure the
time of the DSLAM stays in synch with “real time.”
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.
