Goal

 How to set or update time / clock and calender date on the SL500, SL3000, SL8500 library.

Solution

Time is set on the library using the CLI interface.  This can NOT be done via SL Console.  Use Service, Advance Service, Remote or OEM.  This operation is done by the CSE only.

Following are examples on how to make the changes:

*******************************************************************
         SL3000 CLI Interface-Active Card-Side A

*******************************************************************

SL3000> time
time print
time HH:MM
time HH:MM:SS
NOTE: the date and time will be GMT+0
COMPLETED

SL3000> time print
Date:       02/27/2013
Time(GMT):  11:32:06
COMPLETED

*******************************************************************
         SL8500 CLI Interface-Active Card-Side A

*******************************************************************

SL8500> time
time print
time HH:MM
time HH:MM:SS
NOTE: the date and time will be GMT+0
COMPLETED

SL8500> time print
Date:       02/27/2013
Time(GMT):  12:38:30
COMPLETED
============================================

Setting the date is done the same way:

*******************************************************************
         SL3000 CLI Interface-Active Card-Side A

*******************************************************************

SL3000> date
date print
date MM/DD/YYYY
NOTE: the date and time will be GMT+0
COMPLETED

SL3000> date print
Date:       02/27/2013
Time(GMT):  11:57:34
COMPLETED

*******************************************************************
                     SL8500 CLI Interface

*******************************************************************

SL8500> time 13:50
COMPLETED

SL8500> time print
Date:       04/02/2013
Time(GMT):  13:50:05
COMPLETED

SL8500>

Customer can do this process via admin.

This is a very simple process that the customer can do.
He will need putty and his admin password.

1. Connect to the library via putty using the IP address for the library.
2. Run the command
time print (This will show him the current time)
3. Run the command
time HH:MM:SS ...... For example time 11:14:00
4. Run the command
time print (to confirm)

Below is an example taken from a SL3000 which uses the same syntax.

SL3000> time print
Date: 09/14/2016
Time(GMT): 12:57:15
COMPLETED

SL3000> time 11:14:00

requestId

requestId 1197101

Success true

Done

COMPLETED

SL3000> time print
Date: 09/14/2016
Time(GMT): 11:15:12
COMPLETED
