2.2.1.1 Operation of the main IDU (InDoor Unit) (classic IDU version)
The Line Access Units (LAU) offer all the passive functions required to provide transmit and receive G.703
interfaces for the tributaries and 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (when there is one). This mainly entails impedance
matching. Two types of board can be used:
LAU 3CC06059AAxx: eight ports for 2 Mbit/s tributaries (two boards of this type are used for the
16 x 2 Mbit/s configuration),
LAU 3CC06061AAxx: one port for 34 Mbit/s + one 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream port.
The LIU (Line Interface Unit) boards provide all the active functions required for transmit and receive mode
G.703 interfacing of tributaries and the 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (mainly HDB3 { HCMOS code conversion).
The LIU boards are daughter boards that plug into the MCU board. Three types of board can be used:
LIU 3CC06026AAxx: eight ports for 2 Mbit/s tributaries,
LIU 3CC06119AAxx: eight port extension unit, used in conjunction with the eight port LIU board,
3CC06026AAxx, for the 16 x 2 Mbit/s configuration,
LIU 3CC06118AAxx: one port for 34 Mbit/s + one 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream port.
dropping/insertion of engineering service channels (up to 5) and the 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (when
there is one):
ESC N_ 4 and N_ 5: V.11 64 kbit/s interfaces (not available for the 2 x 2 Mbit/s rate),
connection of local supervision system, for connecting a supervision PC; depending on the software
versions, two types of SIMM memory are used:
an extended version (option sold by reference 9400UXB267) for 946LUX40 software (SNMP)
telephone ESC transmission and reception between the IDU and the ODU,
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is available in two versions, 24 V or 48 V DC floating, for primary power supplies.
It provides DC/DC conversion to generate the necessaries voltages required to operate the indoor unit and the
primary power supply voltage of the outdoor unit.
For the Classic IDU:

24 V and
48 V power supply
2.2.1.2 Operation of the Light IDU versions
The Light MCU (Light Multiplexing and Control Unit) handles:
all passive functions (mainly impedance matching) and active functions (mainly HDB3 { CMOS code
conversion) needed for transmit and receive mode G.703 interfacing of the four tributaries,
3CC09771AAAA TQ BJA 03
29/264
connection of local supervision system, for connecting a supervision PC. The memory required for the
946LUX12 system software (RQ 2) is installed on the Light MCU board. To operate the LUX40 software
(SNMP), additional SIMM memory must be added (option sold by reference 9400UXB267).
For the Light IDU versions, the types of power supply available are:
S 19 Light IDU:
24 V DC or
48 V DC floating (This version is a low power consumption version,
allowing the operation of the Light IDU without fans).
in the case of a classic IDU, the IDU/ODU telephone channel (connected to ESC N_ 2).
separation of the signals and the power supply voltage to feed the units subsystems,
the interface for the aggregate, for transmission or reception, with the modem.
The transmitter (TX) unit receives the aggregate from the cable interface. It then handles processing for
microwave transmission, as follows:
baseband processing:
direct 4QAM or 16QAM modulation of the RF frequency output by a local oscillator in the transmitter,
without transfer to intermediate frequency.
power amplification.
The receiver (RX) unit receives a 4QAM or 16QAM modulated carrier and demodulates it to restore the
aggregate to be fed to the cable interface. The receiver incorporates the following functions:
low noise amplification of the received carrier,
30/264
3CC09771AAAA TQ BJA 03
analogue/digital conversion,
It also uses the bit error ratio measurements to generate switching request signals for transmission to the
multiplexer/demultiplexer unit (MCU).
The TX and Rx boards are frequency agile in 10 kHz steps. A single board covers the 7.1/8.5 GHz band.
The power supply module receives primary voltage from the IDU via the link cable and generates the voltages
required to operate the subsystems of the outdoor unit.
The branching module comprises duplexed filters, the numbers of which depend on the configuration. It
handles separation of the transmitted and received RF signals. In the 7/8 GHz band, there are two filters to
cover the 7.1 - 7.7 GHz and 7.7 - 8.5 GHz subbands.
The filters are factory set to the channel defined by the user and provide adaptation to the different frequency
plans defined by the ITUR, CEPT and certain national authorities in each band. The same applies to the duplex
separation between the transmit and receive filters.

The loopback options are provided to facilitate commissioning and maintenance operations. Figure 17 shows
the positioning of the loops according to the configuration.
Each local loop loops the aggregate:
at the output of the main IDU , and the extension IDU ,
at the input of the main ODU and the extension ODU , to check the cable link between the IDU
and the ODU (this command cuts off output power),
S A local loop disconnects the link and isolates it from the network.

S The remote loop remote control function must be executed on the remote station.
Remote loopback can be used in a stations IDU to loop the receive output of a tributary to its transmit input.
This way, you can use a BER analyzer connected to the local station to check out a hop (Figure 18).
S Before setting up a loop, you must assign identical link identification codes for both
transmit and receive directions (see 4.5.1) to avoid generating an alarm condition
S For RQ2 supervision networks, disconnect the terminal from the network
management system before setting up a loop.
2.6
Equipment management
When installing and commissioning the equipment, the Installation parameters (see 4.4) and Operation
parameters (see 4.5) applications of the supervision function are used to load the link parameters
(configuration, bit rate, frequency, etc) from the craft terminal.
The configuration is saved in two memories, one located in the IDU, the other in the ODU.
On power up, the microprocessor responsible for administering the equipment compares the content of the two
memories:
if the contents are identical, it loads their content into the various modules of the IDU and the ODU, and
switches the equipment to operational mode,
On the IDU, the three Urgent alarm, Non urgent alarm and Alarm attended LEDs (see 2.7)
on the front panel of the main IDU flash simultaneously. The equipment waits for the
IDU-ACO ODU button on the main IDU to be pressed to select a configuration to download.
This simplifies maintenance by eliminating the need for a manual configuration reload after changing an ODU
or IDU. In this case, when power is restored to the equipment, all that is needed is to download the configuration
to the subsystems that has just been replaced from the other subsystem and the system automatically switches
to the operational state.
The default configuration is obtained by attempting to load the configuration of equipment that is not included
(for example, disconnect the ODU, power up the IDU and choose to download the ODU configuration when the
LEDs are flashing at the same time). You must then reload the entire equipment configuration from the CT.

This application can be used to download the onboard version of the Network Element software.
The download can be executed from:
an ECT (Equipment Craft Terminal) connected to the NE,
to all the stations of a network (to update MCU board software in 9400 UX equipment).
The download operation is in three stages:
installation of the new software release on the craft terminals hard disk, from the diskette supplied
by Alcatel,
downloading of the software to the RAM of the NEs that need to receive it,
NOTES
For a given NE, the application must not be run simultaneously from more than one craft terminal.
For a given type of NE and craft terminal, the operation for installing the software is performed just once,
on receipt of the diskette supplied by Alcatel, containing the software release. Only the downloading and
activation stages need to be repeated for all the NEs of the network supervised by the craft terminal.
When you have opened the application:
if a download had been begun previously with an unfinished transfer of data to RAM, a window

Application available only with the extended 946LUX12 software and the standard /946LUX40 software version.
This application can be used by an operator or NMC manager to access inventory information concerning the
selected network element. The information is designed to assist in the administration of the network elements
as performed by the customers maintenance and repair centres.
The inventory data can be accessed from a craft terminal or from a remote management device. The data is
displayed at the request of the operator and can be printed out.
All the data contained in backup .rur files provides for complete identification of a replaceable unit (generic name
RU), and can be used to facilitate management of the equipment by installation and maintenance teams.
The various data fields shown by the application contain the following information:
identity of Alcatel CIT or subsidiaries (ACIT, ASEL, ASES, ATEL),
the mnemonic representing the type of network element (see list in Appendix 11),
the reference of the replaceable unit (for example 3CC05714AAAA) and its revision index,
reference of the resident software installed (for example 3CC08538AAAA) and its revision index,
serial number,
The information supplied can be used by the operator to identify a unit remotely for management and
administration purposes.
All the inventory data is loaded before delivery to the customer, during the factory tests and/or inspections. This
cannot be modified by the operator.

Preventive maintenance
This kind of maintenance is performed when carrying out a corrective maintenance procedure, or on a routine
visit to all the equipment of the station. It involves inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors,
cables, sockets, etc), as well as all the equipment involved in the operation of the station (power supply,
batteries, solar panels, earthing, etc) and, in case of doubt, checking the suspect parts, taking all the necessary
precautions to avoid disrupting data transmission over the link (using the 1+1 switching capability if available,
etc). Preventive maintenance is recommended for the following units:
MCU board battery:
Fan unit:

Corrective maintenance
6.3.1 Methodology
Check the condition of the cables, connectors and connections, and of all the components that are
involved in the operation at the station (power supply, battery, earthing, etc),
If alarms are indicated, locate them using the configuration and operation programs installed on a CT
and analyze them and carry out the necessary corrective procedures (change of unit, module, cable,
etc).

On installation, a transmit or receive frequency value error cause numerous alarms to
be generated.
PROPAGATION ALARM
This alarm appears when the receive power is weaker than the threshold defined in Operation
parameters/Thresholds/Propagation.
1) Open the Radio Transmission Parameters application and read the received power value.
2) If the power value is compatible with the link budget, check that the nominal power and threshold
declared in the Thresholds/Propagation menu of the Operation Parameters application are correct,
correct if necessary and check that the alarm disappears.
3) Otherwise, switch to local supervision mode to check far-end station B, if possible:
If this differs significantly from that obtaining at A, first of all check that stations A and B have not
switched to the HSB standby channel, check that there is no manual switching to the standby
channels, otherwise the far-end ODU has probably failed. The same symptom may be caused by
accidentally cutting off the amplifiers of station B by remote control.
There is a receive frequency problem in station A, or a transmit frequency problem in far-end station
B, or a bandwidth problem (bit rate not the same in both stations). Check and correct as necessary
in station A.
Check the equivalent components of the farend equipment by switching to local supervision mode
when possible (there may be a EF: Equipment Fault in the far-end equipment preventing the far-end
station from being viewed).

Power down the Light IDU / main IDU. Disconnect it from the power source.
Note: For the Plugin IDU, extract it from the BTS.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the unit you are changing (remember to remove the software
key).
Change the Light IDU / main IDU after checking that the characteristics match (number of inputs,
impedance, etc).
Reconnect all the cables to the unit and the software key.
Wait for the URG, NUR and ATT LEDs to start flashing simultaneously.
Configure the IDU from the ODU by setting the IDU/ODU switch to the ACO/ODU position. Wait about
two minutes for the terminal to be reconfigured. The alarm LEDs should go off and the equipment LEDs
should turn green.
Note: For the Plugin IDU, simply insert it in the BTS, it will power on automatically.
In the event of an error, particularly if the pushbutton is set to the wrong side, re-enter all of the station
configuration (see section 5, Commissioning).
Note: In the case of a basic 1+1 configuration, power down the extension IDU.
6.8.2 Replacing a Light IDU with a classic IDU (1+0 only) and vice versa
The procedure for changing the equipment is the same as for like for like replacement, but, in some cases, the
ODU configuration may not be taken into account. Disconnect the IDU-ODU connecting cable and using the
information in the installation form (see model in Appendix 1), download the 1+0 configuration from the CT (see
section 5 Commissioning).
Update the stations installation form (see model in Appendix 1).
6.8.3 Replacing like for like a main IDU with MUX protection

7 Changing configurations
Changes to the transmission network may entail upgrading the equipment configurations to satisfy new
requirements. The 9400 LX/UX system is designed to support these changes simply by modifying the software
configuration, or by physically modifying the equipment and its configuration.
Before any change of configuration, disable all remote controls.
For any work on the boards (dismantling/reassembly, change of configuration), the
operator must wear a grounded wrist strap (for example, the 3M Disposable Wrist
Strap, reference 2209).THESE OPERATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY
TECHNICIANS, AUTHORIZED BY ALCATEL.
Update the reference documents and the labels in accordance with the new
configuration.
Some of these operations may entail opening the IDU to change the hardware configuration ( 7.1 ). These
changes may lead to:
changing the IDU ( 6.8):
replacing like for like a light or classic IDU (1+0 or basic 1+1) ( 6.8.1),
replacing a Light IDU with a classic IDU (1+0 only) or vice versa ( 6.8.2),
replacing like for like a main IDU with multiplexer protection ( 6.8.3),
changing the bit rate by changing the LAU and LIU tributary boards ( 7.4.5),
supervision
configuring service channels 3, 4 and 5 in the main IDU without ESC extension ( 7.9.1),
configuring the service channel and network ports of a Light IDU ( 7.10),

Opening an IDU
A classic IDU is opened as described in the photos in Figure 57 and the procedure below.
The procedure for opening a Light IDU is the same, except the step shown in photo , since this unit does not
have a Display panel.
Isolate the power supply and disconnect all the cables to the IDU.
Undo the side screws on the unit (screws securing the fixing brackets (Photo ) and the metal plates
concealing the fixing brackets mounting position on the operation panel).
Using a 5 mm flat wrench, undo the connector fixing nuts on the operation panel of the IDU
(Photo ).
Slide the cover away from the connector panel towards the operation panel using the fixing brackets
as a lever to disengage the cover from the connector panel (Photos and ).

Changing frequency
A change of frequency within the same sub-band (possible if the width of the transmitted spectrum is compatible
with the required frequency separation: 16 QAM modulation or tributary bit rate p8x2 Mbit/s in 4 QAM
modulation mode) does not entail moving to each station of the link. The change of frequency on remote station
(B) can be applied from local station (A) using the local supervision function, or from the general supervision
terminal.
The frequency of the remote station must always be modified before that of the local
station.
Update the information sheet needed to install the station (Appendix 1).
For each channel, modify the transmit and receive frequencies in the Terminal/Radio configuration/Tx
frequency and Terminal/Radio configuration/Rx frequency menus.
Check that the duplex separation between the transmit and receive frequencies is correct.
In a 1+1 HSB configuration, check that the transmit and receive frequencies of the two channels are
the same.
For each channel, modify the transmit and receive frequencies in the Terminal/Radio configuration/Tx
frequency and Terminal/Radio configuration/Rx frequency menus.
Check that the duplex separation between the transmit and receive frequencies is correct.
A change of frequency within a different subband will entail changing the branching block supporting the ODU
or ODUs (depending on configuration).
This means that, in both cases, changing the frequency entails going to each station. The configuration is
changed locally in each station by software.
The following procedures must be carried out on each station:
Update the information sheet needed to install the station (Appendix 1).
3CC09771AAAA TQ BJA 03

7.4
Change the branching block according to the new configuration, referring to 3, Installation.
Check that the duplex separation between the transmit and receive frequencies is correct.
In a 1+1 HSB configuration, check that the transmit and receive frequencies of the two channels are
the same.
Changing tributaries
Update the information sheet need to install the station (Appendix 1).
Activate the required tributaries on each channel, for transmission and reception.
Open the AS&C application and check that the new active tributaries are shown with black lines and
a number on a white background.

The port impedance values of tributaries 1 to 4 can be set to 75 ohms or 120 ohms using switch modules:
S105 for channel 1
A101 A102
P103
Switches 5 to 10 are for choosing the 75 or 120 ohms impedance for the
channel concerned.
Switches 2, 3, 4 are for choosing the type of ground in 75 ohms
configuration.
The combination of settings of switches 1 on S104 and S105 can be used
to identify the type of engineering practice containing the SCU board: switch
1 of S102 and S103 is not used.

In the classic IDU version, choose, from the list of available bit rates, another bit rate offered by the software
keyLAU and LIU board combination (for example, change from a 4x2 Mbit/s configuration to an 8x2 Mbit/s
configuration).
In the Light IDU versions, you can change from a 2x2 Mbit/s configuration to a 4x2 Mbit/s configuration (or vice
versa).
This operation can be performed only if the number of tributaries used is less than the number of tributaries
available on the equipment. If this condition is satisfied, you must also have a software key that is
compatible with the new bit rate. If not, you must first change the key as described previously in 7.5.
The bit rate of the remote station must always be modified before that of the local station.
Update the information sheet needed to install the station (Appendix 1).
Open the Terminal/Bit rate menu (see 4.5.1). Specify the new bit rate.
Open the Terminal/Inserted tributaries menu (see 4.5.1). Activate the required tributaries on each
channel, for transmission and reception.

7.4.5.2 Method
Update the information sheet need to install the station (Appendix 1).
If the new configuration requires a change of key, change it first (see 7.5).
Power down the IDUs, disconnect them from the power source and disconnect the tributary, service
channel and inter-unit cables.
Disconnect the plug linking the power supply to the front panel.
On the front panel, using a 5 mm flat wrench, remove the spacers securing the LAU boards to be
replaced.
Raise and remove the LIU board (held on the lower circuit by two plugs).
Remove the LAU board (and for the 34 Mbit/s tributary, disconnect the two subclick plugs).
Remove the LAU board and the corresponding LIU board (linked by ribbon cable).
For changing from 16 x 2 Mbit/s to 34 Mbit/s, similarly remove the second LAU/LIU board level.
Install the new LAU and LIU boards after checking the impedance configurations.
For the 34 Mbit/s version, fit the small daughter board supporting the 1.6/5.6 connectors
(3CC07830AAxx), in place of the top I/O connector (9/16) or ACCESS connector (9/16), fit the daughter
board at the back of the connector panel and secure it by screwing the spacers to the outside of the
connector panel.
For the 34 Mbit/s version, remember to connect the two sublick plugs to the LAU board.
Reconnect the tributary, service channel, inter unit and power supply cables.
Repeat the commissioning operations described in section 5, in particular, declare the new
configuration in the following applications:

You may need to open the back of the unit to insert one or two attenuators so that the transmit output power
can be adjusted by an integrated attenuator fitted with an SMA elbow connector.

Power down the main IDU and, if appropriate the extension IDU and disconnect them from the power
source.
If the outdoor part (ODUs and branching block) is already mounted on the support fixed to the mast,
remove the ODUs and the branching block as described in 3.6. Dismantle the branching unit support
plate.
Place the ODUs in a position sheltered from the weather. Take the branching block to a workshop or
operation room (typically) to fit the attenuators.
Place the branching block on a bench or table with the side accommodating the normal channel N ODU
visible. Undo the eight M4 x 10 countersunk Torx screws securing the cover with the registration pins
from the ODU and the mixed coaxialwire link connector between the ODU and the branching filters.
When the cover has been removed from the block, undo the two nuts and M2.5 x 10 countersunk screws
securing the mixed connector so you can detach the cover. Place it to one side with the screws you
have already removed.
Turn over the branching block and undo the eight M4 x 10 countersunk Torx screws securing the other
cover (channel X) in a 1+1 HSB or 1+1 DIV configuration. As before, unscrew the mixed ODUfilter
connector (make a careful note of the wiring for when you have to reassemble), detach the cover and
place it to one side with its screw fasteners.
Turn over the branching block on the bench so that the side with the waveguide ports is visible. Undo
the eight M4 x 10 countersunk Torx screws securing the cover with the branching filters mounted on
it and stow away the screws. Carefully remove the coverfilter assembly and the cables and
connectors.
Place the coverfilter assembly on the bench so that the end of the filters with the SMA sockets is
visible. There is an O ring seal in the groove around the cover. This can remain in place and must be
reused when reassembling.
Using an 8 mm openended torque wrench (Radiall, code: R282320) undo the SMA connector of the
transmit port cable from the TX filter socket or the HSB switch port, as appropriate. Fit an SMA elbow
connector to the TX port, tighten it with the 8 mm wrench at the same time holding it in the correct
position, correctly oriented to receive the attenuator without stress; then mount the attenuator on the
elbow connector and, at the free end of the attenuator, the SMA connector from the cable initially
removed.
If necessary, repeat the above operations on the SMA port of the second Tx filter or the second port
of the HSB switch. Before reassembling the filter assembly within the casing of the branching block,
check that all the SMA connections are correctly tightened.
3CC09771AAAA TQ BJA 03
223/264
Place the filter assembly on the table or bench, on the side with the wavegide ports, and check that the
O ring seal is in position in its groove. Offer up the casing above the filter assembly, with the opening
of the casing facing the filters. Lower the casing carefully so that its opening passes over the filters and
mates with the cover and its O ring seal.
Hold the block and filter assembly and, holding them together to avoid displacing the seal, turn it all over
and place it back on the table. Take the eight M4 x 10 countersunk Torx screws for securing the cover
and replace them, but do not tighten. Tighten them when they are all in place.
Turn the branching block over on the bench so that the side receiving the channel 1 ODU is uppermost.
Replace and screw back the two nuts on the M2.5 x 10 countersunk screws securing the connector
to the cover with the ODU registration pins. In a 1+1 configuration, check (if you did not make a note
before), using the markings on the cables or by tracing the coaxial cables, that you have not crossed
over the ODU connectors (channel 1 and channel X). Take the eight M4 x 10 countersunk Torx screws
securing the cover and replace them, but do not tighten. Tighten them when they are all in place.
In a 1+1 HSB or 1+1 FD configuration, turn over the branching block and carry out the same reassembly
operations for the channel X mixed connector on the second cover and for fixing the cover, as in the
previous paragraph.
Check that the branching block has been correctly reassembled. Take the block back to the site and
reinstall it and the connections to the feeders.
Install the ODUs, beginning with locking the top catch on the ODUs. Be careful not to reverse the ODU
positions, because the software is incapable of recognizing this error. Reconnect or set up the ground
connections between the ODUs, the branching block and the mounting plate on the mast (see 3.7.2).
Reconnect the IDUODU connecting cables.
Return to the operation room and reconnect the main IDU and, if necessary, the extension IDU to the
power source and power them up again. Check that there are no alarms (see 6.3.2) when you have
completed the commissioning procedure.

WIN.INI file
adjust the equipment polling period for refreshing RTP application measurements.
This file, located in the Win95 directory, can be edited using any text editor such as WINDOWS (TM) NOTEPAD
(TM) . The information to be modified can be found under the [PEX] heading in the file (Figure 78).
check that the PCs date and time are correct. If not, correct them (it is these values that will be
taken into account by the network)
in the [PEX] section, replace the line CT_TIME=CLIENT with the line CT_TIME=MANAGER
(or create this line if it does not exist).
Run the Administrative functions/Operator/Date application and click OK. the network will register
the date and time on the PC.
250/264
3CC09771AAAA TQ BJA 03
In the [PEX] section, create a line that reads POLRTP=xx, where xx is the value required (in seconds)
for the polling interval. The value will not be recognized unless it is greater than the value returned by
the NE (one second in the case of a 9400 UX). More than a value of around ten seconds is not
recommended. The screen in Figure 79 shows an example in which the polling interval is set to five
seconds.
A.10.2
The 946LUXxx.INI file includes a POLMEA variable for editing the polling period of the equipment for refreshing
analogue measurements.
This file, located in the c:\Alcatel\946LUX1x directory, can be edited by any text editor such as WINDOWS
(TM) NOTEPAD (TM). The information to be edited is in the [MEASURES] section of the file. Edits are made
in the same way as for the POLRTP variable in the WIN.INI file.
In the event of network problems, the polling interval for displaying the results of analogue measurements can
be increased as follows:
Edit the 946LUXxx.INI file.
In the [MEASURES] section, alter the xx value on the POLMEA=xx line, where xx is the value required
(in seconds) for the polling interval. Reducing the default setting of five seconds is not recommended
because of the risk of overloading the supervision bus. A value of between 30 and 60 seconds is
recommended.

A.10.3
Time synchronization
When a CT is synchronized by the network, it is set to GMT time. To be able to analyze the results collected
by Nectas, it is important to set the PC to local time. This can be done when installing the system software,
or manually:
The SET TZ function uses the current setting of the TZ environment variable to assign the values of three global
variables: summer time, time zone and nomtz.
These variables are used by the PC to make adjustments based on GMT to local time, and by the time computed
by the system.
They are set in the PCs autoexec.bat file.
To be interpreted correctly, the TZ variable must not include spaces between the characters.
If the TZ variable is not set, it defaults to PST8PDT, or US west coast summer time
(CaliforniaPacific zone).
The syntax to be used to activate the environment TZ variable is:
SET TZ=tzn[+/]hh[[:mm][[:ss]]][dzn]
tzn must be a time zone name on three letters, such as PST, followed by an optional number sign, +/ hh,
indicating the time difference between GMT and local time.
To specify the local time exactly, hours may be followed by minutes, :mm; seconds, :ss; and three summer time
zone letters, dzn, such as PDT. Separate hours, minutes and seconds by :.
If the summer time is not stored, which is the case in some countries, activate TZ with no value for dzn.
Example:SET TZ=MET1
SET TZ=MET1PDT
zone
summer time
If the installer wants to change the networks time synchronization mode manually, this must be done in the
WIN.INI file, under the [PEX] heading, on the CT_TIME line.
