Configuring UTC Offset or Time Zone
You can configure the time zone in which the device is deployed. This is referred to as the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time offset and defines how many hours the device is from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, Germany Berlin is one hour ahead of GMT (UTC/GMT is +1 hour) and therefore, you would configure the offset to "1". USA New York is five hours behind GMT (UTC/GMT offset is -5 hours) and therefore, you would configure the offset as a minus value "-5".
