The setup message is made up of a header and a series of "Information elements". Each information element has an identifier and format. In particular, you are looking for "Date/time", whose information element identifier code is 29 (hex). A quick search of your bridisplay messages does not show a "29", so it is fairly certain that the switch is not including the time and date. 4.5.15 Date/time The purpose of the Date/time information element is to provide the date and time to the user. It indicates the point in time when the message has been generated by the network. NOTE - It is a network dependent matter whether the time indicated is local time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and which calendar is used for referencing the date. The Date/time information element is coded as shown in Figure 4-21.
