Changing the time in S8100 1

[SiamSam]

Question

How does one change the time in the Avaya S8100?? The old SET TIME command does not work--it only allows one to change the Daylight Savings Time rule.

I've read in other forums that the time in S8100 comes from the Windows operating system. We only have access to the system via CLAN/ASA.

This is probably a simple request. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Set System Date and Time
The system date and time can be set using the systime command. Alternatively,
you can use Windows 2000TM to set daylight savings rules and the time zone as
well as the date and time.

Avaya services logins can also use the command line interface to set the date
and time.

Using systime

Telnet to the lac prompt and enter the following bash command:
systime hh:mm (Use military time. For example, 16:00 represents 4:00 PM.)

Using Windows 2000TM
Use Windows 2000TM to set daylight savings rules and time zones, as well as the
date and time.

Use a laptop or a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, to login to the system.
Establish a terminal servers session and use the standard Windows 2000 methods
to set the date and time parameters.
Using a Local Command Line Interface (CLI)

The date and time can also be set via the command line interface similar to MS_
DOSTM. Only Avaya services logins can use this procedure. You will not be able
to set the time zone or automatic daylight change with this method, but updating
the time is possible. Perform a telnet to the LAC, and choose cmd. From a local
keyboard, mouse, and monitor, perform the following:
1. Click Start, Run on the desktop.
2. In the window, type telnet 192.11.13.6, and click OK.
3. Login.
4. At the lac prompt, type cmd and press Enter.
5. At the cmd prompt, type date and enter date, for example 12/06/2001; then
press Enter.
The system displays the date.
6. At the cmd prompt, type time and enter time using a 24 hour clock, for
example 13:45; then press Enter.
The system displays the time.
NOTE:
The technician can also do this from the laptop using the nic card on the
front of the TN2314 board, and following the same procedure.

Remotely from the TSC
The date and time can be set remotely from the TSC after accessing the lac
prompt, and following the above procedure starting at step 4.
If the date and time has to be changed, use lucent2 or lucent3 to login.
1. At the lac prompt, type bash; then press Enter.
2. At the definity-one prompt, type pcanywhere.
3. When the system says the process has started, you can launch Terminal
ServerTM on your PC. Terminal ServerTM is located under Start, Programs,
wcsc, cms support. Left click Terminal ServerTM.
If you receive error messages when starting a Terminal Server session,
click OK for each error message.
4. On the Terminal ServerTM screen, right-click on the NETWORK icon.
5. Select Properties.
6. Check TCP/IP under the Connection info tab.
7. Click on the Settings tab.
8. Type in the ip address of the customer's system. This is located on the
Solution Element information page.
9. Click OK.
10. Double-click on the NETWORK icon.
The first time you use Terminal ServerTM, you will see a challenge screen.
a. In the login box, type skpca.
b. The password is pcany1
You will not be challenged again, unless your PC is rebooted.
