When you enable SNTP, you are required to set your time zone and
the rule or dates of Summer Time Hours for your location. For
information about setting one-time summer hours, refer to “Setting
One-Time Summer Time Hours” later in this chapter. For
information about setting Summer Time Hours, refer to “Setting
Summer Time Hours” later in this chapter.
