To set the time zone, use the following command:
set timezone zone-name {-hours [minutes]}
The zone name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces. The hours parameter specifies
the number of hours to add to or subtract from UTC. Use a minus sign (-) in front of the hour value to subtract
the hours from UTC.
To set the time zone to PST (Pacific Standard Time), type the following command:
WSS# set timezone PST -8
Timezone is set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8:0 hours.
Displaying the time zone
To display the time zone, use the following command:
show timezone
For example, to display the time zone, type the following command:
WSS# show timezone
Timezone set to 'PST', offset from UTC is -8 hours
Clearing the time zone

Configuring the summertime period
The summertime period offsets the system time +1 hour and returns it to standard time for daylight savings
time or a similar summertime period that you set.
To configure the summertime period, use the following command:
set summertime summer-name [start week weekday month hour min end week weekday
month hour min]
The summer-name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces. The start and end dates and
times are optional. If you do not specify a start and end time, WSS Software implements the time change
starting at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and ending at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October,
according to the North American standard.
Note. Configure summertime before you set the time and date. Otherwise,
summertime’s adjustment of the time will make the time incorrect, if the date is within the
summertime period.
