Library Administration

Setting the Date and Time

When the library is initially set up, or if it has been disconnected for

more than eight days, you need to set the date and time. If the date and

time are not set, error logs will not include date and time stamps. To set

the date and time, enter the

Administration menu. If you want to only

view the date and time, enter the

Information menu.

To set the date and time:

1. Enter the

Set Date & Time menu.

2. Use the

[-] or [+] keys to select the year, month, and day. Use the [->] to

scroll to the next entry when complete.

3. Set the hour and minutes (00:00:00) using the [+] or [-] keys. Use the

[->] key to scroll over to the next selection. The seconds are

automatically set at 00.

4. Use the [-] or [+] keys to select the time zone. UTC stands for

Coordinated Universal Time. (See Table 3-6, “World Time Zones,” on

page 3-22.) This will keep your host time and library time

synchronized.

5. Press

[OK] to save your changes. Press [Quit] to exit this menu and not

save your changes.

NOTE The time does not automatically adjust for time changes such as daylight

savings time and is accurate to within one hour per year. Occassional

adjustment is normal.
