An Nx1 server is the sole server in my system.  The server time is shown as UTC+8 hours when it should be UTC+13 hours. Recorded data is 5 hours out of sync.  Changing to internet time does not over-ride this.  Nx client shows the correct time at the bottom left of the display.  Do I have to access the server webpage to change the server time?  The server is fully charged.

  Hi @...,

  You can change this via SSH. 

  After you connected via SSH, please execute the following commands: 

  1. Check the current timezone

     $ timedatectl status

  2. To find the correct continent and city, you can check the list of available time zones with: 

     $ timedatectl list-timezones

  3. To change it to the right timezone with the following command: 

     $ timedatectl set-timezone "<continent>/<city>" 

     for example: 

     $ timedatectl set-timezone "Africa/Dakar"

  You also could use the latest Nx Server tool (Windows only).
  Instructions can be found in THIS support article.

  Thank you for that.  

  It turned out that I could simply log on to the Nx1 server's web page and change the date/time zone there, which was wrong.
