Performing Initial
System Configuration
After you install the PathBuilder S330/S310 hardware, you must complete the
following three steps in order to put the unit into operation:
1 Configure the system clock
2 Set up communication parameters
3 Set the time and date
4 Set up passwords
You access the menus used to perform these steps from the System
Administration menu, shown in Figure 33. To display the System Administration
menu:
From the Main menu, select [1] System Administration.

The following subsections provide instructions for performing the four initial
configuration steps. See Chapter 4 for instructions on configuring specific
PathBuilder S330/S310 ports and modules.
Configuring the System
Clock
By default, the PathBuilder S330/S310 uses the internal clock as its reference
clock. You can specify up to eight additional clocks for the system to use as a
reference clock. When you set the clocks, you also assign each one a priority. You
can then set the system clock to the clock with the highest priority. If this clock
fails, the system automatically uses the clock with the next highest priority as its
reference clock. It defaults to the internal clock only if all eight clocks fail or if
there are no more valid selections.
