Set the timezone
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the time standard based on the International Atomic Time standard,
commonly known as Greenwich Mean time. When determining system time, you must include the
differentiator between UTC and your local timezone. For example, San Jose, CA is the Pacific Timezone
with a UTC offset of -8.
Set daylight savings time
FTOS supports setting the system to daylight savings time once or on a recurring basis every year.
