Fortress ES-Series CLI Guide: Networking and Radio Configuration

The set clock command returns the Mesh Point’s current date 
and time values, which you can edit and re-enter: use the left/
right arrow keys to navigate displayed fields, backspace over 
current values or overwrite them. When you finish typing in new 
values, strike 
Enter↵ to save them. The Mesh Point CLI returns 
[OK] when settings are successfully changed.
Alternatively, you can run 
set
clock
 non-interactively with valid 
switches and arguments, as shown below.
# set clock -h 
<hrs> 
-m 
<mins> 
-s 
<secs> 
-M
 <M> 
-D
 <D> -
Y
 <YYYY>
To set the Mesh Point’s internal clock in local time rather than 
UTC, use the 
-local switch with set clock.
# set clock -local
# set clock -local -h 10 -m 21 -s 46 -M 12 -D 12 -Y 2008
The Mesh Point CLI returns [OK] when settings are 
successfully changed.
You must be logged on to an 
administrator
-level account to 
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
3.6.2 Time Zone 
View the current time zone setting with show:
> show timezone  
America/New_York
The set command is used to change the time zone setting 
interactively, displaying allowable 
country|territory values 
for you to enter, and then allowable 
zone values. Entries are 
case-sensitive: enter your choice exactly as it appears in the 
list.
# set timezone
Africa, America, Asia, Atlantic, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Indian, Mexico, Mideast, 
Pacific, US,
--> Enter timezone|continent|country|territory name: US
Alaska, Aleutian, Arizona, Central, East-Indiana, Eastern, Hawaii, Indiana-Starke, Michigan, 
Mountain, Pacific, Samoa
--> Enter second level timezone|country|state|city|territory name: US/Eastern
The Mesh Point CLI returns [OK] when settings are 
successfully changed.
You must be logged on to an 
administrator
-level account to 
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
3.6.3 NTP Client Configuration 
The Mesh Point supports configuration with up to three 
Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.
