Setting Daylight Savings Rules; Selecting A Custom Nist Server - AMX NI-700 Webconsole & Programming Manual

Setting Daylight Savings Rules

1. In the Daylight Savings tab (FIG. 60), enable Daylight Savings mode by clicking the On button.
Clock Manager Options - Daylight Savings tab
FIG. 60
2. Use the Offset drop-down menus to adjust the amount of time (hours and minutes) to offset Daylight Savings. By default, the
offset is set to 1 hour.
NOTE: Although most places that support Daylight Savings usually adjust the local time by one hour this doesn't cover all
locations. To provide flexibility for such locations it is possible to conf igure a different daylight savings time offset.
3. Use the Starts fields to specify when Daylight Savings should start. The Starts rules include:
Select Fixed to specify the calendar date when the rule applies as a specific date ("March 21"). When Fixed is selected, use

the Day, Month and Starts fields to specify the date and time (hh:mm) to start Daylight Savings time.
Select by Occurrence to specify the calendar date when the rule applies as a heuristic, ("the 3rd Sunday in March"). When by

Occurrence is selected, use the Week of the Month, Day of the Week, Month and Starts fields to specify the occurrence to
start Daylight Savings time. The range is 1 through Last, where Last indicates the last occurrence of a particular day of the
month. This is to accommodate months that include four weeks as well as those that include five.
4. Use the Ends fields to specify when Daylight Savings should end. The Ends rules match the Start rules, and follow the same
logic. Select Fixed or by Occurrence, and specify the End date/time information accordingly.
5. Click Accept to save these settings to the Master.
