How to set or check time on the WCS?

[lynne.meeks]

We have a WCS running on Linux.

The clock on the Linux box is correct, but the time on the WCS is not, as evidenced in reports of client associations and other reports.

Where can I set - or even just check- the clock on the WCS?

Thanks!

Hi Lynne,

Theres a small section on here for setting the clock on wcs (under the header "Instructions to Synch the Three Devices"):

Per TAC:

As you may be aware, Linux often has multiple ways to configure various functions. Products the Wireless Networking Business Unit makes that have a Linux operating system are designed to look at /etc/localtime for their timezone offsets, not /etc/sysconfig/clock.

To make this adjustment, please run the following commands at the WCS server's Linux command line:

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime

Then Stop WCS and reboot the server. The time zones should be correct after that.
