Configuring the System Date and Time
It is important to set the system date and time so the alarms and events logs reflect the actual
time each event occurred. From the ::system=> prompt, type the time command in the
following format then press .
time <hh>:<mm>:[<ss>] [<mm>/<dd>/<yyyy>]
Parameters
<hh>

represented by the numbers 02, and 2 p.m. is represented by the number 14).
<mm>
The current minute represented in two-digit format (for example, 03).
[<ss>]
The current second represented in two-digit format (for example, 03).
[<mm>]
The current month represented in numerical format (for example, August is represented by
8 or 08).
[<dd>]
The current day of the month (for example, 5 or 05).
[<yyyy>]
The current year, in four-digit format (1999).
Example
