effective even after future reboots, create a line with /bin/ex_wdt_led.sh in /etc/config_files, save
and quit the file and run saveconf.
NOTE: This section applies only to the dual power supply model of the ACS console server.

Date and Time, Timezone and Daylight Savings

To adjust the date and time, use the date command. Timezone is configured using the CLI utility or
WMI (see ACS Installation, Administration and User Guide for using the WMI to set time, date
and timezone information.)
NOTE: Setting the system timezone creates a new file called /etc/localtime, which erases /etc/TIMEZONE.

Daylight Savings Time (DST)

When the DST parameter is set to on, the ACS console server automatically adjusts its time
information to comply with the time shift appropriate to the target timezone. For states, countries or
regions that do not observe daylight savings time, the dst parameter must be set to off even if other
regions in the target timezone do observe the daylight savings time change.
In rare occurrences or under special circumstances, a region or country might require that a
customized daylight savings time be used. Such circumstances might require a temporary or
permanent change of date for the beginning and ending of daylight time, or a time offset greater or
less than the usual one hour. Following are the instructions for customizing the daylight savings
time parameters.
Enter the following command to set the date and time. For configuration parameters see Table 5.10.
cli> config administration date/time [parameter] <value>
