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. 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.
