Set the date and time manually
This functionality is not available from the Web UI.
Command line
To set the date and time manually, use the date command. The date command specifies the time in
HH:MM:SS format, where seconds are optional, followed by the date, in DD:MM:YYYY format.
For example, to manually set the time and date to 14:55:00 on May 3, 2016, enter:
digi.router> date 14:55:00 03:05:2016
Set the time zone and Daylight Saving Time
When the date and time is set using SNTP, the system time is set to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC)
and not to your local time. In addition, the date and time, whether it is set manually or using SNTP,
does not automatically change to reflect Daylight Saving Time (DST). By setting the time zone, the
device displays the local time for that time zone and automatically adjusts for daylight saving time.
You can set the time zone to any of the following values:
canada-atlantic, canada-central, canada-eastern, canada-mountain, canada-newfoundland,
canada-pacific, europe-central, europe-eastern, europe-western, none, uk-ireland, us-alaska,
us-arizona, us-central, us-eastern, us-hawaii, us-indiana, us-mountain, us-pacific. The default is
none.
