d. Execute the commands (where <name> is the timezone name):
rtc -z <name>
rtc -c
2. Shutdown and restart the machine. The recommended command to
shutdown and restart is:
shutdown -y -i6 -g0
(Note that shutdown -y -i5 -g0 will shutdown the system, but
will not restart it.)
3. Check the date/time by executing the date command:
date
This should display the correct date and time for the newly set time-
zone (see example in step 4). If not login as root, then:
EITHER
a. Correct the date and time using the date command where
<datetime> is a string of numbers representing the month, day,
hour, minute and second, for example
date 10061424.40 sets
the date to October 6, 2:24:40 pm:
date <datetime>
OR
b. If using an NTP server, use the
rdate command, where
<server> is the IP address of a contactable local NTP server:
rdate <server>
This command checks the NTP server time, and sets the local
server time (when run as root).
4. Login to the WebUI and check that the date/time is now being
correctly displayed as per the following example:
Fri Jan 17 01:39:30 GMT 2014 (before changing time zone)
Fri Jan 17 14:50:19 NZDT 2014 (after changing time zone)
The WebUI status bar shows the current time with UTC offset. For
example:
12:51:57 UTC+00:00 (the SCADA gateway local time is the
same as UTC)
12:51:57 UTC+13:00 (the SCADA gateway local time is 13
hours ahead of UTC)
4.8 SCADA Gateway Resource File
The SCADA gateway has a resource configuration file (scadagw.cfg),
located in the
/home/taitnet/scadagw/ directory. This file contains
some configuration parameters that cannot be changed on the WebUI. It is
not recommended that they are changed unless Tait Technical Support has
requested it.
