The time served by the NTP Server and the SIP Date Header are expressed in 
GMT time. The local time is obtained by offsetting the GMT according to the time 
zone of the region. 
The 
Time Zone
 parameter can be configured from the web page or through 
provisioning. This time can be further offset by the 
Time Offset (HH/mm
) 
parameter, which must be entered in 24-hour format. This parameter can also be 
configured from the phone’s LCD display. 
NOTE The 
Time Zone
 and 
Time Offset (HH/mm)
 offset values are 
not
 applied to manual 
time and date setup. 
Configuring Daylight Saving Time
The phone supports auto adjustment for daylight saving time. You must set 
Daylight Savings Time Enable 
to yes and enter the DST rule. This option affects the 
time stamp on 
CallerID
. 
To enter the rule for calculating DST, include the start, end, and save values 
separated by semi-colons (;) as follows:
Start = start-time; end=end-time; save = save-time
For example, the default DST rule is
start=4/1/7;end=10/-1/7;save=1.
The 
start-time
 and 
end-time
 values specify the start and end dates and times of 
daylight saving time. Each value is in this format: 
month/day/ weekday[/HH:mm:ss]
 
The 
month
 value equals any value in the range 1-12 (January-December).
The 
day
 value equals any + or - value in the range 1-31. If day is 1, it means the 
weekday on or before the end of the month (in other words the last occurrence of 
weekday in that month).
The 
weekday
 value equals any value in the range 1-7 (Monday-Sunday). It can also 
equal 0. If the weekday value is 0, this means that the date to start or end daylight 
saving is exactly the date given. In that case, the day value must not be negative. If 
the weekday value is not 0 and the day value is positive, then daylight saving starts 
or ends on the weekday value on or after the date given. If the weekday value is 
not 0 and the day value is negative, then daylight saving starts or ends on the 
weekday value on or before the date given.
Optional time values: 
HH
 represents hours (0-23), 
mm
 represents minutes (0-59). 
and 
ss
 represents seconds (0-59). Optional values inside brackets [ ] are assumed 
to be 0 if not specified. Midnight is represented by 0:0:0 of the given date.
