Configuring and Managing Time Parameters 125
Setting the Time
Zone
The time zone parameter adjusts the system date, and optionally the
time, by applying an offset to UTC.
To set the time zone, use the following command:
set timezone zone-name {- hours [ minutes ]}
The zone name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no
spaces. The
hours parameter specifies the number of hours to add to or
subtract from UTC. Use a minus sign (-) in front of the hour value to
subtract the hours from UTC.
To set the time zone to PST (Pacific Standard Time), type the following
command:
WX1200# set timezone PST -8
Timezone is set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8:0 hours.
Displaying the Time Zone
To display the time zone, use the following command:
display timezone
For example, to display the time zone, type the following command:
WX1200# display timezone
Timezone set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8 hours
Clearing the Time Zone
To clear the time zone, use the following command:
clear timezone
Configuring the
Summertime Period
The summertime period offsets the system time +1 hour and returns it to
standard time for daylight savings time or a similar summertime period
that you set.
Configure summertime before you set the time and date. Otherwise,
summertime’s adjustment of the time will make the time incorrect, if the
date is within the summertime period.
To configure the summertime period, use the following command:
set summertime summer-name
[ start week weekday month hour min
end week weekday month hour min ]
