The clock switches from summer to winter time (and back) automatically. This is inde-
pendent of the exchange time or the ntp server time. Summer time starts on the last
Sunday in March by switching from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. The calendar-related or schedule-re-
lated switches that are scheduled for the missing hour are then carried out. Winter time
starts on the last Sunday in October by switching from 3 a.m. to 2 a.m. The calendar-re-
lated or schedule-related switches that are scheduled for the additional hour are then car-
ried out.
Time server
You can obtain the system time automatically, e.g. using various time servers. To ensure
that the device uses the desired current time, you should configure one or more time serv-
ers.
Note
If a method for automatically deriving the time is defined on the device, the
values obtained in this way automatically have higher priority. A manually
entered system time is therefore overwritten.
The menu System Management->Global Settings->Date and Time consists of the fol-
lowing fields:
