Change Date and Time With NTP

Instead of setting the time manually, you can let the Telecommuting Module get the correct time from an NTP server. The time for synchronizing will be notably shorter if the Telecom- muting Module time is approximately correct when NTP is activated.

N.B. Before you change time here, make sure that the Telecommuting Module uses the correct time zone above.
