Canada rules effective in 2007.
1. Type change daylight-savings-rules and press Enter.
2. In the Change Day, Month, Date, Time, and Increment columns, type the appropriate
start and stop information for each rule. For example, 1:00 in the Increment field means to
move the clock forward or back by one hour at the transition point.
You can set up to 15 customized daylight savings time rules. If you have media gateways
in several different time zones, you can set up rules for these media gateways on a
per-location basis. A daylight savings time rule specifies the exact time when you want to
transition to and from daylight savings time. The rule also specifies the increment at which
to make the transitions.
Note:
The default daylight savings rule is 0, which means that no daylight savings

daylight savings rule if the rule is in use on either the Locations screen or the
Date and Time screens.
3. When you finish, submit the screen to save the changes.
