Setting Time:
Time is very important and somewhat complex in a MultiNet System. Use the Linux
date command to set the time as shown in one of the following examples:
Where hh = hour
mm = minutes
.
ss = seconds
MM = month
DD = day
CCYY = 4 digit year
date MMDDhhmm.ss<Enter>
date MMDDhhmmCCYY.ss<Enter>
date 10031055.00
Sets the time to Oct 3, 10:55:00 AM using current year
For additional information on the date command, use:
man date<Enter>
Press Q to exit man program.

Synchronizing Time:
Contact AES Technical Support for options to synchronize two or more MultiNet
Receivers to the same time standard. This is important in any system where servers
share files.
5.11
Time Zone:
Time zone is also very important as time is kept internally in UTC and is set or
displayed according to a variable that identifies the Time Zone the MultiNet receiver is
located within.
By default, a MultiNet Receiver is typically set to Eastern Time Zone or
America/New_York.
The Setup program accessed by entering the setup command shown below on a
command prompt is the easiest utility to use for setting the time zone.
Setup<Enter>
You can also use the following utility, but Setup described above is usually easier.
Enter the following command to use the Time Zone Select utility:
tzselect<Enter>
command to set the time zone. Follow instructions and answer the
questions presented on the screen.
Contact AES Technical Support for additional information on adjusting the Time Zone
on your MultiNet receiver.
