Table 3.A TCP/IP network settings
Setting the Date and Time
Use the following procedure to set the date and time on the PC.
Windows NT uses the date and time in managing files and applications.
ProcessLogix also uses these settings on reports and for tracking events, so
it is important to set the date and time before installing the ProcessLogix
software.
1. In the Time Zone scroll box, select the appropriate time zone for
your location.
2. Uncheck the Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings
changes checkbox if needed, which means the function is disabled.
3. In the Date & Time tab, be certain that the Month, Day, Year,
Hour, Minute, Seconds, Night (PM)/Day (AM) settings are correct.
