I can't answer for his software, but in the Cisco IOS there are settings 
for timezones and time servers.  i.e. for US mountain time...

clock timezone MST -7
clock summer-time MDT recurring 2 Sun Mar 2:00 1 Sun Nov 2:00
ntp server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx prefer

If Cisco developed the software they may have something similar in a 
config file somewhere.
