Figure 57: Time & Date screen, BHM
To have each log in the BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable
network element must pass time and date to the BHM or you must set the time and date
whenever a power cycle of the BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and
date in any of the following scenarios:
◦ A connected CMM2 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received).
◦ A connected CMMmicro passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if
received), but only if both
− the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later release.
(These releases include an NTP server functionality.)
− the BHM is operating on Canopy System Release 4.2 or later release.
(These releases include an NTP client functionality.)
◦ A separate NTP server is addressable from the BHM, and the BHM is operating
on Canopy System Release 4.2 or later release.
If the BHM should derive time and date from either a CMMmicro or a separate NTP
server, enter the IP address of the CMMmicro or NTP server on this web page. To force
the BHM to derive time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the
NTP server, click Get Time through NTP.
