Setting Date and Time of the Node

Setting the date, time, time zone, and time server of a node in a network is essential to track the time at which various activities were carried out (mainly alarms) in the node. Based on the configured time and date, TL1 interface displays the GMT. Modifying the date and time does not affect any of the previously raised alarms. However, all the new alarms are stamped with the new date and time. Similarly, the event history does not change even after the date and time change reflects the change. You can change the node time settings by editing values in the web user interface. For changes to take place in the operating system and logs, a service non-disruptive reset has to be applied.

Perform the steps given below to set the date and time of the node.

1. Click System Time > Set time in the navigation pane. The Set Node Time preview pane is displayed. Current date and time is selected by default.

   

2. Select the desired values. For more information, refer to the Set Node Time parameters table given below for parameter description and acceptable values supported.
