stored in nonvolatile memory.
Perform the following steps to set the time zone:
1. Log on to the device as admin.
2. Use the tsTimeZone --interactive command and follow the prompts, or enter the tsTimeZone
[houroffset[,minuteoffset]] command as follows:
For Pacific Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -8,0 .
For Central Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -6,0 .
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tsTimeZone -5,0 .
