This link refers to a page where the internal real-time clock of the RIPM can be
set up. You can adjust the clock manually or use a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
time server. Without a time server, your time setting will not be persistent, so
you must adjust it each time the RIPM loses power for more than a few minutes.
To avoid this, you can use an NTP time server, which sets up the internal clock
automatically to the current Coordinated Universal Time (CUT). Because NTP
server time is always CUT, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset
to get your local time.
Warning: There is currently no automatic way to adjust to daylight saving
time. You must set up the CUT offset twice a year according to the local
rules of your country.
