It is recommended that you reboot the router after time change to avoid the possible inconsistencies
in time measurments and logging.
Date and time settings become permanent and effect BIOS settings.
If NTP update gives time shifted by 1 hour, although the time zone is set correctly, you may want
either to change the timezone, or to use manual DST control and adjust the DST delta setting in
/system clock manual menu.
Example
To view the current date and time settings:
[admin@Local] system clock> print
time: 20:19:47
date: jul/13/2006
time-zone-name: "Europe/Riga"
gmt-offset: +03:00
dst-active: yes

To set the system date and time:
