Hello xiaolong

You can also change the Control Station time & zone by the following commands:

1. Time: nas_cs -set -time

2. Zone: nas_cs -set -timezone

eg: nas_cs -set time 201410131130 -timezone America/New_York

But instead of changing time/zone manually, it's always advisable to have the CS & the DM to sync with NTP. For any further information on this command (nas_cs) please refer to the linked document at the starting of the post.
