Programming Date and Time

You must set the System Date and Time if the MERLIN Messaging System is installed in a MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System, Release 1.0 or Release 1.0i, or in a MERLIN LEGEND Communications System. These parameters cannot be set independently of each other; both date and time must be set.

If you have Release 2 of the MERLIN Messaging System and it is installed in a MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System, Release 1.5 or higher, you do not have to set the System Date and Time; they are automatically synchronized by the integrated system.
