Setting the ACE Backplane Type
The
backplane
command allows you to set or display the ACE backplane type in
nonvolatile RAM. You issue the
backplane
command during the initial startup of
your VME-based Bay Networks router. You need only enter the
backplane
command once during the life of the system controller installed in slot 1 of the
router, unless you insert the system controller in another type of VME router. For
instructions on using the
backplane
command, see Quick-Starting Routers.
Enter the following command to set the ACE backplane type in nonvolatile RAM,
where
<type> is the VME-based router type (ALN, LN, CN, or FN):
backplane
<type>
If you issue the
backplane
command without specifying a type, the system
displays the router’s backplane type on the screen.
Examples:
Resetting the Date and Time

command allows you to display or change the system date, time, or time

difference between the current time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Enter the following
to display the system date, time, and GMT offset:
