Two feature keys need to be programmed on the attendant console to allow the time and date to be changed; one for "modifying the time" (MTM) and one for "modifying the date" (MDT). This is achieved using Overlay 12. Refer to "Assigning Features To Console Keys".
The date and time is displayed simply by pressing the respective key
(MDT or MTM).
To set the time or date from the attendant console proceed as follows:-
1. Press a spare loop key.
2. Press the MTM key, if it is the time that needs to be changed, or the MDT key if it is the date that needs to be changed.
3. Key in the new time or date. Note just key in the new date or time as numbers without spaces eg 260395 for the 26th of March 1995 and 1315 for 'one-fifteen' in the afternoon. The system will automatically separate the day from the month and the month from the year.
4. Press the MTM or MDT key again.
5. Press the Release Key.
From the Teletypewriter (TTY) Terminal
Time and date can be set and tested from the attendant console or from the TTY using Overlay Program 2.
Once LD 2 is loaded, you will receive a "." prompt instead of ">". This is because LD 2 used to be a maintenance program.
To test the current time and date setting type :-
.TTAD (note NO carriage return is needed).
To set the time and date type :-
.STAD (DAY IN MONTH) (MONTH) (YEAR) (HOUR) (MIN) (SEC).
The clock is set and begins when the carriage return is pressed.
