1. Type:
TIME<CR>
HCD-E1 sends the entry line for the first parameter:
HOUR = 12
2. If you do not want to change the current value of the parameter, press
<CR> to confirm it and continue to the next line, otherwise press F to
increase or B to decrease the displayed values, and then press <CR>
to confirm the selected value. HCD-E1 displays the entry line for the
next parameter.
3. Repeat the procedure until all the parameters are defined, and then
press <CR> to end.

Set the time about one minute beyond the current time and then press
<CR> at the correct instant.
A typical display, as seen after all the parameters are selected, is shown
below:
HOUR = 12
MINUTE = 25
SECOND = 16
Below HCD-E1 displays the date and time (note that the time has changed),
followed by the HCD-E1 prompt.
4.6 Supervision Terminal Operating Instructions
Before using the supervision terminal make sure the preparations listed in
Section 4-3 have been completed and all the relevant equipment have been
turned on.

Starting a Session

- Single HCD-E1

When the terminal is used to control a single HCD-E1, always assign node
number 0 to the HCD-E1. Use the following startup sequence to connect to
a HCD-E1 that has been assigned node number 0. We assume that you are
using the AUTO (Autobaud) mode, which is the default one when you
switch on the equipment.
