Manual Time Configuration

You can manually configure the time on the device with the clock set command.

Although the hardware calendar (built-in clock) is the default time-source, the hardware clock and software clock are separate and can be configured separately.

Hardware Clock (Calendar) configuration

You can manually configure the hardware clock with the calendar set command.

Typically you will want to synchronize the 'clock' and 'calendar'. Use the command...

  • ... clock update-calendar to sync the calendar to the clock's time.

  • ... clock read-calendar to sync the clock to the calendar's time.

Configure the Time Zone

You can configure the time zone with the clock timezone command.
