TIME ZONE & DST
There are two ways you can set the time zone on the IP Phones.
Method 1
You can set a time zone using the
Time Zone
option in the IP Phone UI or you can use the
“
time zone name”
parameter in the configuration files. Both methods allow you to enter a value
from the Time Zone table. The list of time zone names is provided in the table in Appendix A,
the section,
“Time Zone Name/Time Zone Code Table” on page A-46. The following is an
example:
time zone name: US-Eastern
Method 2
You can use the
Time Zone
option in the IP Phone UI or your can use the “
time zone name”
parameter in the configuration files, and specify a value of “
Custom
” for this parameter (must
use initial caps). The “Custom” option allows you to customize the time zone for your area using
additional configuration parameters. The following is an example using relative time for EST:
time zone name: Custom
The following table identifies the additional time zone and DST parameters you can enter in
the configuration files.
Note:
DST can be set on the phones using the IP Phone UI and configuration files only.
