MPU955 Time Management Utility

WHAT AND HOW

WHAT AND HOW?

WHAT IT DOES

The Time Management Utility (TMU) enables an administrator and

other users to set the date and time of the NSS. This document guides

the process of installing and configuring these properties using this

utility.

HOW IT WORKS

Initially, and periodically, it will be necessary for an administrator to

set the date and time of the NSS. The date and time settings within

the NSS will dictate what is displayed on a monitor OSD (on-screen

display) which is viewed by security surveillance operators.

Installation

The MPU955 Time Management Utility software is very simple to

install and only takes a few minutes. There are a series of Windows

dialog boxes to guide the installation onto the hard drive of a PC.

MPU955 Time Management Utility

WHAT AND HOW

MPU955 Time Management Utility

INSTALL

Installing the MPU955 Time Management Utility means copying

program files onto the hard-drive of a dedicated PC from a CD-ROM.

PLATFORM

As with any PC application that must be reliable, there should be little

other than MPU955 utilities running on the same computer. The

MPU955 Time Management Utility operates independently of other

MPU955 utilities.

The PC should have the following characteristics:

Minimum Hardware Requirements

OPERATION

The NSS is configured in three phases:

1. Set the PC date, time, and TIME ZONE parameters.

2. Configure TMU date, time and optional time zone.

3. Transfer the settings to the NSS and verify.

It will be important for the administrator to understand the settings for

a specific region and make adjustments accordingly. Because the

time and date setting may be used more frequently than time zone

setting, tab sections are provided giving the administrator the

flexibility of separating the actions.

and 12/31/2068.

The MPU955 Time Management Utility allows for manual NSS

adjustments without changing the Windows settings.

PC Time Setup

This utility uses the Windows calendar and clock of the local PC for

displaying the current date, time, and time zone information. If the

date, time and/or time zone information is not correct, it may be

adjusted through the standard windows calendar/clock and time zone

utility. Verification of these settings is very important for the Quick

Set function. Refer to the Windows documentation provided with the

PC for settings instructions.

VERIFY LOCAL PC SETTINGS

Verification of the local settings is important for the Quick Set update

method of the Date, Time and Time Zone settings in the system CPU.

The local settings will be displayed in red. The administrator can

easily configure the system CPU by using the Quick Set adjustment

feature.

However, in the case of service personnel who travel with a PC and

do not wish to continually change local PC settings, manual

configuration is available.

Date and Time

When the TMU is launched, the utility will display the Date / Time

tab indicating current date and time settings of the local PC in red.

INSTALL MPU955 Time Management Utility

Time Zone

Initially, when the TMU is launched and the Time Zone tab is

selected, there will be no time zone selected. Select a Time Zone from

the drop-down list, and then click the “Put to CPU” button.

Resetting the Main CPU

After putting the Time Zone to the main CPU, each CPU needs to be

rebooted so that the updated information is registered correctly.

Verify that you wish to reset the CPU by clicking “Yes” when asked

if you wish to reset the CPU.

If you are not able to reset the CPU at that time, select the “Reset” tab,

click the red “Reset” button, and click “Yes” to confirm the reset of

the CPU when it is convenient to do so.

PC ADJUSTMENTS

If any of the settings for the local PC are incorrect, make adjustments

using the time zone settings in the standard Windows Clock and

Calendar. These settings can be viewed by the date/time within the

Windows Control Panel. See the Windows operation guide supplied

with your PC for more detailed information.

If PC adjustments have been made, click “View Local PC Settings”

button. This will refresh the displayed PC settings, again colored in

red.

♦

Note: If the changes to the PC settings are not reflected, close

the application and re-open to refresh the Local PC

settings.

interrogate the system and return the current values for time, date and

time zone of the desired CPU. Each time this button is used, time,

date and time zone information is retrieved all at once, regardless of

which tab section is selected. Follow the steps below for retrieving

this information.

Date/Time Properties

1. Make sure that the desired Main CPU (A or B) is

displayed in the drop-down list.

2. If the Date/Time tab is not selected, click on the tab to

bring the Date/Time adjustments window to the front.
