To modify the clock value for the respective area, first type “/mnt/app/bin/delmod”: 

 

 

Ignore the “ERROR” messages and  use the “date” command to change the date and time:  
Without any parameters, it shows the current 
time/date of the system: 

 

 

Type “date MMddhhmmyy” to modify: 

 

 

The format is M = Month, d = Day, h = Hour, m = minutes, y = Year, two digits per item, no 

blanks. 

 

It is recommended to use the “Coordinated Universal Time” as a local time for the TOPEX 

VoiBridge equipment, for this tape the command string: 

/sbin/hwclock --systohc  

The use the “-u” option to display the UTC time: 

date –u 

 

 

You notice that instead of East Europe Time (EEST, local hour for Bucharest) the gateway 

displays now the Universal time (UTC) 

 

Don’t forget to reboot the equipment after setting up the new date: 

/sbin/reboot 

 

 

Rebooting of the Topex gateway is required for proper operation, because the application “centrala” 
has been stopped prior to setting the time.
