[Usage Scenario] When preparing to deploy a device, it’s essential to configure the system time of the device to the current actual time. This ensures that the device’s logs and alarm messages accurately reflect the timestamp of events. The device often comes with an arbitrary system time when it leaves the factory, which doesn’t represent the actual time.
