Setting The Date And Time - Nortel CC MIS User Manual

Setting the date and time

Having a correct date and time set on the ARN is useful if the router logs
ever need to be consulted. The date and time (and time zone) can be set from
the Technician Interface. The time zone setting is the number of hours offset
from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), with offsets west of GMT expressed as
negative values.
To check the current date, time and time zone settings:
date <return>
Dec 10, 2004 12:23:45 [GMT]
To set a new date and time (leaving the time zone setting unchanged):
Date 12/11/03 10:15 <return>
Dec 11, 2004 10:15:03 [GMT]
To set a new date, time and time zone:
Date 12/11/04 10:15 -6 <return>
Dec 11, 2004 10:15:03 [GMT-6]
