5.1.2 HELP Command
Entering HELP [ENTER] produces a single page display of all the commands used in the
operation and maintenance of the MRC-565. To obtain descriptive information about a particular
command and how it is used by the MRC-565 enter the command type. For example: HELP,

5.1.3 System Time and Date
The MRC-565 has its own internal clock that is periodically synchronized to the nearest second
with the master station. The master station receives the correct date and time from either its
Host, GPS, or RTCM broadcast. The master station then periodically broadcasts this date and
time information to all remotes for synchronizing their internal clocks. If required, the date and
time may be initialized using the following commands:
DATE, mm/dd/yy [ENTER]
TIME, hh:mm{:ss} [ENTER]
Always set UTC Offset to 0, the local time offset should be set to the time zone offset (+/- TZ)
the remote station is from the master station time zone.

FACTORY,DEFAULT,INIT
The unit restores the factory default parameters. A complete list of Factory Defaults is included
in Appendix B.
The station configuration parameters are usually entered by loading a configuration script file as
described in Section 4.4. It is also possible to enter these commands one at a time from the
operator port. This section describes some of the key commands. Refer to Appendix A for a
complete list of commands.
In order for the MRC-565 to operate correctly in your network, it must be properly configured.
Configuration requirements will vary from application to application, therefore refer to your
systems manual or consult your systems manager for correct settings.
Use the commands described in this section to set the configuration as per required. You may use
the CONFIG, ASSIGN, SNP and CR10X commands to verify proper configurations have been
set.
