The following commands are used to terminate and restart the system program:
quit
Terminates the system program. You may need to “
quit
” in order to perform a system
function such as a system upgrade, configuration change or a configuration backup.
start_ne
Restarts the system program and is available only after you issue the
quit
command. After
issuing the
start_ne
command, you must again login to the system.
restart
Generally used from a remote site (when using Telnet or TFTP), although it is functional from
a local console as well. The
restart
command reboots the system and automatically starts
up the system software.
If you prefer, you can make configuration changes and store them remotely. Later, you can
transfer the changes (the .nei files) to the system using TFTP. In order for these changes to take
effect, you would need to issue the
restart
command from the Telnet session of your remote
terminal.
Note: If you lose your Telnet connection within 10 seconds of entering the
restart
command, the command will not be executed.

The following commands are used to set the date and the time on the system:
date <month, day, year>
Changes the date on the system as specified. The <month> can be specified as a numeral from
1 to 12, spelled out in full (January), or abbreviated to 3 letters (JAN). The <day> can be any
legal date within the month specified. (For example, 1 through 31 would be legal dates for
January.) The year may be specified in its entirety (1995) or by its last two digits (95). Commas,
dashes, and white space are all acceptable separators.
time hours:minutes <:seconds> <AM/PM>
Changes the time on the system as specified. The hours can be from 0 - 23 in military time, or
from 1 - 12 in civilian time, with an optional AM/PM indicator. The “seconds” parameter is
also optional. If “P” is included (indicating “PM”), 12 is added to the hour. White space is
unimportant.
Note that if the time command is issued without any parameters, the system will report the
current time. Parameters following the time command are interpreted as an attempt to make a
change.
