Chapter 5: Local Management
5-24 2E43-51/2E43-51R User’s Guide
5.7.5 Setting the Device Date
The 2E43-51 is year 2000 compliant so that the Device Date field can be
set beyond the year 1999.
To set the system date, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Device Date field.
2. Enter the date in an MM/DD/YYYY format.
3. Press ENTER to set the system calendar to the date in the input field.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of
the screen and press ENTER.
If the date entered is a valid format, the message displays “SAVED OK”
at the top of the screen. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does
not alter the current value, but it does refresh the Device Date field with
the previous value.
5.7.6 Setting the Device Time
To set the device clock, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Device Time field.
2. Enter the time in a 24-hour format, HH:MM:SS.
3. Press ENTER to set the system clock to the time in the input field.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of
the screen and press ENTER.
NOTE
It is not necessary to add separators between month, day, and
year numbers, as long as each entry has the correct number of
numeric characters. For example, to set the date to
03/17/1997, type “03171997” in the Device Date field.
NOTE
When entering the time in the system time field, separators
between hours, minutes, and seconds are not needed as long
as each entry uses two numeric characters. For example, to set
the time to 6:45 A.M., type “064500” in the Device Time field.
