Configuring the proper time zone 

 
You must be careful when changing the IXS600 timezone setting to make it work properly. Please note that it only support 
POSIX style time zones. This means that the offset signs are reversed from the standard ISO 8601 convention. E.g.: 

•

 

GTM = Greenwich mean time 

•

 

GMT-2 = GMT plus 2 hours 

•

 

GMT2 = GMT minus 2 hours 

Please also note that not all time zones are supported, CET/CEST is not. Some of the tested and working time zones are: 
UTC, GMT, PST8PDT, VNM, JST, MST7MDT.
