SYSTEM TID/DATE/TIME SETTING
Summary:
This procedure provides instructions for setting the Craft Interface system internal
time and date clock; and entering the Target Identifier (TID). Time and date must be set when
the system is first installed or if there is a change in time. Also, each Soneplex Broadband
chassis requires a unique identification name or number, called the TID.
Note:
A “toggle” field type means the user can press the space bar to view and select the
next option that is described; or the user can press the “R” key to view and select the
previous option. An “input” field type means the user must type an entry in the field
according to the parameters described. A “fixed” field is locked, and cannot be changed
by the user.
Note:
Edits can be made in the configuration database in one of two ways: 1) If the
complete field is highlighted, use the space bar to toggle forward or the “R” key to
reverse toggle through the options for that field. 2) If only the first space or the field is
highlighted, type in the data that applies to that field.
Note:
Edits to the configuration database can be saved after each change in one of two
ways: 1) Press an arrow key and then Enter or Return once; or 2) Press Enter or Return
twice
after all selections and entries are made in the screen but before leaving the screen.
If the entries have been accepted, a message “Configuration Successful…
