Time Zone & DST
There are two ways you can set the time zone on the IP Phones.
First Method - You can set a time zone using the Time Zone option in the IP
Phone UI or you can use the “time zone name” parameter in the configuration
files. Both methods allow you to enter a value from the Time Zone table. The list
of time zone names is provided in the table in Appendix A, the section,
“Time
Zone Name/Time Zone Code Table” on page A-47. The following is an example:
time zone name: US-Eastern
Second Method - You can use the “time zone name” parameter in the
configuration files, and specify a value of “custom” for this parameter. This
method allows you to customize the time zone for your area using additional
configuration parameters. The following is an example using relative time for
EST:
time zone name: custom
The following table identifies the additional parameters you can enter in the
configuration files if you want to customize your time zone.
