The time zone of the TMG3200 is configured on the Linux host using the tzselect command. The following is provided as a sample of how to configure a time zone:

[root@TB005375 ]# tzselect Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly. Please select a continent 1) Africa 2) Americas
.
.
.
10) None - I want to specify the time zone using the Posix TZ format.

  1. ? 2

Please select a country. 1) Anguilla
.
.
.
10) Canada
.

51) Virgin Islands (US)

Please select one of the time zone regions. 1) Newfoundland Time, including SE Labrador
.

.
7) Eastern Time - Quebec - most locations
.
.
.
27) Pacific Time - north Yukon

  1. ? 7

The following information has been given: Canada Eastern Time - Quebec - most locations  Therefore TZ= ‘America/Montreal’ will be used. Local time is now: Wed Aug 19 08:49:01 EDT 2009. Universal time is now: Wed Aug 19 08:49:01 UDT 2009. Is the above information OK? 1) Yes 2) No

 You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line TZ= ‘America/Montreal’; export TZ to the file ‘.profile’ in your home directory; then log out and log in again.  Here is the TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in the shell script America/Montreal [root@TB005373 ]#
