Displaying daylight savings time rules
To display daylight savings time rules:
1. Type 
display daylight-savings-rules 
and press 
RETURN
.
The Daylight Savings Rule screen appears. Verify the information you 
entered is correct.
Setting the system date and time
Update the date and time for events such as a leap year, the change to or from 
daylight savings time, or a system restart after a power failure. The correct date 
and time assure that CDR records are correct. CDR does not work until the date 
and time have been entered. 
NOTE:
Changing the date and time may modify CDR data by 9 hours and 59 
minutes. Therefore, you should change the date and time after normal 
business hours. After you change the date and time, review the time settings 
for any adjunct (other than AUDIX) linked to your system that uses the 
system time. 
Before you start
Before you can set the date and time, you need to know whether it is currently 
daylight savings or standard time and know which daylight savings rule number 
you want to use. Daylight savings rule numbers are located on the Daylight 
Savings Rule screen.
