MANUAL VERSION 11.0 – May 2008
Automatic Daylight Saving Time Adjustment
18. AUTOMATIC DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ADJUSTMENT
18.1 In previous versions, the system administrator had to reset the system time whenever
Daylight Saving Time [British Summer Time in Europe] became effective. As of version 8.2,
however, the system automatically adjusts the time whenever Daylight Saving Time is in
effect. The system time is also modified when Daylight Saving Time ends.
18.2 You can program the system so that it automatically adjusts the system time whenever
Daylight Saving Time is or is not in effect. If properly programmed, the system will adjust the
time as follows:
• (For the U.S.) On the appropriate day in spring, the system time will “spring ahead”
one hour at 1:59:59 AM, changing the time to 3:00:00 AM.
• (For Europe) On the appropriate day in spring, the system time will “spring ahead” one
hour at 12:59:59 AM, changing the time to 2:00:00 AM.
• On the appropriate day in fall, the system time will “fall back” one hour at 1:59:59
AM, changing the time to 1:00:00 AM.
18.3 When the time changes, the system issues a message to Message Print. See for details.
18.4 Because this feature changes the system time, the scheduled delayed major reset may be
affected as follows:
• If the reset is scheduled to occur within four minutes of the time change, the reset is
delayed by five minutes. For example, if the reset is scheduled for 1:58, the reset will
occur at 2:03, which is five minutes later.
• If the reset is scheduled to occur between 2:00:00 AM and 3:00:00 AM in the spring,
the system does not reset. Instead, the system performs a delayed major at the next
scheduled date and time.
• If the reset is scheduled to occur between 1:00:00 AM and 2:00:00 AM in the fall, the
system resets twice: once before the time change and once after. For example, if the
reset time is set for 1:30 AM on the day of the fall time change, the system resets at
1:30 AM. Then, at 2:00 AM (1:59:59), the time changes to 1:00 AM. When it is 1:30
AM, the system resets again.
NOTE: Inter-Tel recommends that you do not schedule automatic functions, such as backups
and resets, to occur at 2:00 AM. If you do, the system may not perform the function when the
time changes.
18.5 In previous versions, a scheduled major reset was required when various programming
operations were completed. As of version 8.224, however, the following operations no longer
require a major reset:
• Changing ACD agent IDs.
• Changing extension numbers (this includes any extension number, not just UCD/ACD,
such as station, trunk group, etc.)
18.6 Because the major reset is not required for these actions, administrators are not
prompted to perform an immediate or scheduled reset if performed from an administrator’s
phone. Instead, these database changes take effect immediately.
