set time
Purpose
Sets the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and/or system time and date on a Digi device.
All Digi devices maintain time and date as the UNIX epoch (
00:00:00, January 1, 1970
) plus device up-
time. On devices with no real-time clock (RTC), date and time revert to the UNIX epoch on each reboot
or power-cycle. On devices with a RTC, date and time is the UNIX epoch plus time since initial power-
up.
On a Digi device with no real-time clock and no configured clock source, time and date are completely
local to the device and have limited usefulness since they are not persistent over reboots/power-
cycles.
On a device with a RTC and no configured clock source, time and date are also local to the device, but
they are meaningful because they are persistent.
On a device with a configured clock source, time and date received from a clock source are expected
to be UTC.
