Table 12 General Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
System Name Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. This name consists of up to
30 characters; spaces are allowed.
Location Enter the geographic location (up to 30 characters) of your OMC.
Contact Person's
Name
Enter the name (up to 30 characters) of the person in charge of this OMC.
Save System
Log
By default, system logs are stored in versatile memory. This means logs are erased
after you restart the OMC.
To save logs in non-versatile memory, select this option. The OMC automatically
saves the logs every one hour. You can store up to 1000 log entries on the OMC.
Once full, the OMC wraps around and delete the old logs.
You can view logs in the
Diagnostic screen (see Figure 67 on page 131 ).
Use Time Server
when Bootup
Enter the time service protocol that a timeserver sends when you turn on the OMC.
Not all time servers support all protocols, so you may have to use trial and error to
find a protocol that works. The main differences between them are the time format.
When you select the
Daytime (RFC 867) format, the OMC displays the day, month,
year and time with no time zone adjustment. When you use this format it is
recommended that you use a Daytime timeserver within your geographical time
zone.
Time (RFC-868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of
seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
NTP (RFC-1305) is similar to Time (RFC-868).
None is the default value. Enter the time manually. Each time you turn on the OMC,
the time and date will be reset to 2000-1-1 0:0.
Time Server IP
Address
Enter the IP address of your timeserver. The OMC searches for the timeserver for
up to 60 seconds. If you select a timeserver that is unreachable, then this screen
will appear locked for 60 seconds. Please wait.
