Daylight Saving Time(DST)

Many regions honor Daylight Saving Time (DST) (or summer time as it is
called in many countries). Daylight saving time works by advancing the
clock during summer to get more out of the summer days. Unfortunately,
the principles regulating daylight saving time vary in different countries,
and in some cases there are even variants within the same country. For this
reason, the product does not automatically know when to adjust for DST.
Instead, this information has to be manually provided if daylight saving
time is to be used.
There are basically two parameters governing daylight saving time; the
DST period and the DST offset. The DST period specifies on what dates
daylight saving time starts and ends, respectively. The DST offset indicates
the number of minutes to advance the clock during the daylight saving time
period.
Example:
To enable DST, follow the steps outlined below:
WebUI
:
System Date and Time:
Time zone and daylight saving time settings
Check Enable daylight saving time
Offset: enter the number of minutes the clock should be advanced during
DST.
Start Date: select the starting date for DST period in the dropdown list.
End Date: select the ending date.
Then click OK.
