Setting the Time Zone

SNTP uses Coordinated Universal Time (or UTC, formerly Greenwich Mean Time,
or GMT) based on the time at the Earth's prime meridian, zero degrees longitude,
which passes through Greenwich, England. To display a time corresponding to your
local time, you must indicate the number of hours and minutes your time zone is
east (before) or west (after) of UTC. You can choose one of the 80 predefined time
zone definitions, or your can manually configure the parameters for your local time
zone.
Command Attributes
• Predefined Configuration – A drop-down box provides access to the 80
predefined time zone configurations. Each choice indicates it's offset from UTC
and lists at least one major city or location covered by the time zone.
• User-defined Configuration – Allows the user to define all parameters of the local
time zone.
• Direction: Configures the time zone to be before (east) or after (west) UTC.
• Name – Assigns a name to the time zone. (Range: 1-29 characters)
• Hours (0-13) – The number of hours before/after UTC. The maximum value before
UTC is 12. The maximum value after UTC is 13.
• Minutes (0-59) – The number of minutes before/after UTC.
