21 Administer system date and time
21.1 Purpose
This chapter provides procedures to administer NE Date and Time.
21.2 General
The system NE Time can be provisioned either to the PC/laptop operating system
time, manually, or to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. System NE Time is used
for time and date stamping functions.
It is recommended that NTP be used to maintain consistent NE times within the
network. This allows for easy correlation of alarm/event/PM timestamps with actual
time and with a NMS. To minimize NTP traffic within the TMN network, each NE
should use the next NE toward the NMS as its primary time server.
When the NE is configured with NTP, NE time can not be provisioned manually.
The date format is yyyy/mm/dd, where yyyy equals the four-digit year, mm equals the
two-digit month, and dd equals the two-digit day.
The time format is hh:mm:ss, where hh equals the two-digit hour (00 to 23), mm
equals the two-digit minute (00 to 59), and ss equals the two-digit second (00 to59).
System NE Time can be provisioned from the craft terminal and Web Server.
Using the Web Server, System NE Time can be provisioned manually or to the PC/
laptop operating system time.
The NTP server can only be provisioned through the craft terminal. Only NTP status
is available through the Web Server.
Note: After an NE time change, PM history data must be cleared to prevent reporting
erroneous PM data.
