[arm-allstar] Set RC-210 clock from Allstar nodes

[larry]

Hi Mike,

 From the original thread, Ken's response, I believe was to show readers 
how the DTMF loading was done on the fly. We just got a bonus when he 
used that script as his example.

Sounds like you are doing basically the same as Ken with your scripts.
The difference being Ken's script can be run at any point in time 
without the need of preloading the cop 48 digits for a particular 
time/date ahead of time.

Like setting DST on older controller firmware. Run Ken's script anytime 
after 2AM and its done. No need to edit your DTMF on your script each 
time change. etc
