Checking and configuring the date and time

You can check the date, time and time zone set on the hardware clock of the gateway based on the following message in the diagnostics log:

[2022-10-18 15:26:40.139 (UTC+0000)]

If the date on the gateway hardware clock is incorrect or exceeds the validity date of certificates, certificate verification will result in an error and the gateway will not be able to establish a secure connection.

If the date and time do not match the current exact time according to UTC, it is recommended to configure the date and time and set the time zone. Prior to changing the date, time or time zone, you should extract the microSD card from the device.

The time is configured in the terminal window of the PuTTY application.

To configure the time,

Run the command time hh:mm:ss, where hh refers to hours, mm refers to minutes, and ss refers to seconds.

To configure the time zone,

Run the command timezone -s hh:mm, where hh:mm refers to the UTC offset in hours and minutes.

To display the current time,

Run the command time.

To configure the date,

Run the command date mm/dd/yyyy, where mm refers to the month, dd refers to the day, yyyy refers to the year.

To display the current date,

Run the command date.
