Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
Setting System Information—Name, Time, and Country Code
Follow these steps to configure the system information, which the Wireless
Edge Services xl Module reports to an SNMP server:
1. Name the module by entering a string in the System Name field.
The string can include spaces and special characters.
The default name is “Wireless Services.” Note that, by default, RPs send
DNS requests for “Wireless Services” when attempting to be adopted at
Layer 3. See “Enabling Layer 3 Adoption Through DNS Lookup” on page
2-66 to learn how to change the name that RPs request.
2. Enter a string in the Location field to identify where the module is installed.
3. Enter a string in the Contact field to identify the person responsible for
managing this module.
4. Click the Apply button.
Follow these steps to configure the internal clock manually:
1. Enter the current date in the Date field.
Enter the date in this format, in which MM is the number of the month,
DD is the date, and YYYY is the year:
MM/DD/YYYY
2. Enter the current time in the Time field.
Use this format, in which HH is the hour in the 24-hour clock and MM is
the minutes:
HH:MM
3. Choose your time zone from the Time Zone drop-down menu.
The menu lists many countries and cities from which you can choose. You
can also choose a time relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)—for
example, GMT -8.
4. Click the Apply button.
Note The Wireless Edge Services xl Module can also receive the date and time from
a time server. You must set the time zone manually, however, for the module
to receive the correct time. See “Enabling Secure Network Time Protocol
(NTP)” on page 2-138.
