PTP 850E uses the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) standard for time and date configuration. UTC is a more
updated and accurate method of date coordination than the earlier date standard, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Every PTP 850E unit holds the UTC offset and daylight savings time information for the location of the unit. Each
management unit presenting the information uses its own UTC offset to present the information in the correct
time.
Note
If the unit is powered down, the time and date are saved for 96 hours (four days). If the unit remains
powered down for longer, the time and date may need to be reconfigured.
To display and configure the UTC parameters:
1.
Select
Platform > Management > Time Services
