2.4.4 Setting the Date and Time
The SCS can calculate and save the local time, coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich
Mean Time or GMT), standard and Daylight Savings timezones, and the corresponding number of hours
difference between UTC and the set timezone.

Use the Set/Define Server Clock command at the Local> prompt. Time should be entered in hh:mm:ss
“military format” as shown in the example below.

2.4.4.2 Setting the Timezone
The SCS is configured to recognize a number of timezones. To display these timezones, use the Show
Timezone command at the Local> prompt. Set the timezone by using the Set/Define Server Timezone
command at the Local> prompt.
Figure 2-16: Setting the Timezone
If your timezone is not listed, you will need to set it manually. Use the following information to set the
timezone:
◆ A three-letter timezone abbreviation; for example, PST
◆ The number of hours offset from UTC (Greenwich Mean Time); for example, -9:00
◆ The time, day, and amount of any time changes (for example, daylight savings time information)
