<h1 class="title topictitle1" id="ariaid-title1">Time Format</h1>
<div class="body conbody"><p class="shortdesc">The time format (also known as 'TZ' format) is based on the format described by the IEEE
1003.1 standard (i.e. POSIX specification).</p>
<div class="p">The Time Format contains two parts separated by a semicolon: <ul class="ul" id="concept_yg1_vrs_rgb__ul_e1r_zmd_4kb">
<li class="li">The first part, mandatory, is the system timezone expressed in the IEEE 1003.1 POSIX
format (also known as 'TZ' format). </li>
<li class="li">The second part, available since 46.0 is optional. It is the timezone used for the time
displayed in some of the SBC Web pages (Live Calls, Events, and Registration). This part
is only useful for units with the Sbc service. This string must be expressed in the IANA
format. If this part is not present, the UTC time zone is used on the SBC Web pages.</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="p">The first part of the time format has this POSIX
syntax:<pre class="pre codeblock"><code>STDOFFSET[DST[OFFSET],[START[/TIME],END[/TIME]]]</code></pre> where: <ul class="ul" id="concept_yg1_vrs_rgb__ul_ycw_lss_rgb">
<li class="li"><code class="ph codeph">STD / DST</code>: Three or more characters for the standard (STD) or
alternative daylight saving time (DST) time zone. Only STD is mandatory. If DST is not
supplied, the daylight saving time does not apply. Lower and upper case letters are
allowed. All characters are allowed except:<ul class="ul" id="concept_yg1_vrs_rgb__ul_mvm_ybt_rgb">
<li class="li">digits</li>
<li class="li">leading colon (:)</li>
<li class="li">comma (,)</li>
<li class="li">minus (-)</li>
<li class="li">plus (+), and </li>
<li class="li">ASCII NUL.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="li"><code class="ph codeph">OFFSET</code>: Difference between the GMT time and the local time. The offset
has the format h[h][:m[m][:s[s]]]. If no offset is supplied for DST, the alternative time
is assumed to be one hour ahead of standard time. One or more digits can be used; the
value is always interpreted as a decimal number. <ul class="ul" id="concept_yg1_vrs_rgb__ul_l5f_cct_rgb">
<li class="li">The hour value must be between 0 and 24. <div class="note important note_important"><span class="note__title">IMPORTANT:</span> If preceded by a minus sign (-), the time zone is east of the prime
meridian, otherwise it is west, which can be indicated by the preceding plus sign
(+). For example, New York time is GMT 5.</div></li>
<li class="li">The minute and second values, if present, must be between 0 and 59. </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="li"><code class="ph codeph">START / END</code> Indicates when to change to and return from the daylight
saving time. The START argument is the date when the change from the standard to the
daylight save time occurs; END is the date for changing back. If START and END are not
specified, the default is the US Daylight saving time start and end dates. The format for
start and end must be one of the following:<ul class="ul" id="concept_yg1_vrs_rgb__ul_cg4_qss_rgb">
<li class="li">
<span class="keyword wintitle">n</span> where n is the number of days since the start of the year from
0 to 365. It must contain the leap year day if the current year is a leap year. With
this format, you are responsible to determine all the leap year details. </li>
<li class="li"><span class="keyword wintitle">Jn</span> where n is the Julian day number of the year from 1 to 365.
Leap days are not counted. That is, in all years – including leap years – February 28
is day 59 and March 1 is day 60. It is impossible to refer to the occasional February
29 explicitly. The TIME parameter has the same format as OFFSET but there can be no
leading minus (-) or plus (+) sign. If TIME is not specified, the default is
02:00:00.</li>
<li class="li">
<span class="keyword wintitle">Mx[x].y.z</span> where x is the month, y is a week count (in which the z
day exists) and z is the day of the week starting at 0 (Sunday). For instance: M10.4.0
is the fourth Sunday of October. It does not matter if the Sunday is in the 4th or 5th
week. M10.5.0 is the last Sunday of October (5 indicates the last z day). It does not
matter if the Sunday is in the 4th or 5th week. M10.1.6 is the first week with a
Saturday (thus the first Saturday). It does not matter if the Saturday is in the first
or second week. The TIME parameter has the same format as OFFSET but there can be no
leading minus (-) or plus (+) sign. If TIME is not specified, the default is
02:00:00.</li>
</ul></li>

Portal</a>.</p>
<div class="p">Several types of documents were created to clearly present the information you are looking for.
Our documentation includes:<ul class="ul" id="concept_v4k_q3h_1r__ul_bqy_cjh_1r">
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Release notes</strong>: Generated at each GA release, this document includes the known and
solved issues of the software. It also outlines the changes and the new features the release
includes.</li>
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Configuration notes</strong>: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a
specific use case. They address a configuration aspect we consider that most users will need to
perform. However, in some cases, a configuration note is created after receiving a question
from a customer. They provide standard step-by-step procedures detailing the values of the
parameters to use. They provide a means of validation and present some conceptual information.
The configuration notes are specifically created to guide the user through an aspect of the
configuration. </li>
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Technical bulletins</strong>: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a
specific technical action, such as performing a firmware upgrade.</li>
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Hardware installation guide</strong>: They provide the detailed procedure on how to safely and
adequately install the unit. It provides information on card installation, cable connections,
and how to access for the first time the Management interface.</li>
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">User guide</strong>: The user guide explains how to customise to your needs the configuration
of the unit. Although this document is task oriented, it provides conceptual information to
help the user understand the purpose and impact of each task. The User Guide will provide
information such as where and how TR-069 can be configured in the Management Interface, how to
set firewalls, or how to use the CLI to configure parameters that are not available in the
Management Interface.</li>
<li class="li"><strong class="ph b">Reference guide</strong>: This exhaustive document has been created for advanced users. It
includes a description of all the parameters used by all the services of the Mediatrix units.
You will find, for example, scripts to configure a specific parameter, notification messages
sent by a service, or an action description used to create Rulesets. This document includes
reference information such as a dictionary, and it does not include any step-by-step
procedures. </li>
