in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of the program.

SET DATE
Prompts you to enter the new date for the Master Card.
When the date is set on the Master Card, the new date will be reflected on
all devices in the system that have clocks (i.e. touch panels). By the same
token, if you set the date on any system device, the new date will be
reflected on the system’s Master, and all connected devices.
This will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master (in
Master-to-Master systems).
SET DNS <D:P:S>
Prompts you to enter a Domain Name, DNS IP #1, DNS IP #2, and DNS
IP #3. Then, you enter Y (yes) to approve/store the information in the Mas-
ter Card. Entering N (no) cancels the operation.
SET IP <D:P:S>
Prompts you to enter a Host Name, Type (DHCP or Fixed), IP address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP address. Enter Y (yes) to approve/store the
information in the Master Card. Entering N (no) cancels the operation.
SET TIME
Prompts you to enter the new time for the Master Card.
When the time is set on the Master Card, the new time will be reflected on
all devices in the system that have clocks (i.e. touch panels). By the same
token, if you set the time on any system device, the new time will be
reflected on the system’s Master, and all connected devices.
This will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master (in
Master-to-Master systems)
