You can have the IP Office apply daylight saving time (DST) changes at certain times of the year. How you do this depends on the type of IP Office server and the type of time source you have configured it to use:

Using Locations to Apply DST

In a network of IP Office systems, it may be necessary for some systems or extensions, to have different time and date settings to match where they are physically located. This can be done by adding Location entries to the configuration.

Each location can include a time offset from the UTC time and a set of daylight saving settings for the location. You can then:

• Associate IP Office systems with their locations.

• Associated extension and lines with different locations if they require different settings from their host IP Office system.

Editing the DST Calendar

Based on the system's selected timezone, the IP Office automatically adds a set of dates for when daylight saving is applied and removed. The dates are editable.

• The current dates for applying and removing the DST settings are shown below the Automatic DST option on the System > System and Location > Location menus.

• Each entry specifies when the IP Office should apply an additional time offset, and when the IP Office should remove the additional time offset.

• You can use the adjacent Edit and Delete buttons to adjust the calendar entries.

• Note that the list can only include 10 entries (20 for IP Office R11.1.3.2 and higher).

  • To add a new entry, you may need to delete an existing entry. After doing that, Add New Entry appears at the bottom of the list.
