Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Use the following fields when you manage DST rule in the DNCS.

Note: Settings in the first area of the window define how DST is observed in a particular DST Zone
ID.

Daylight Saving Time
Zone ID

The IDs of the DST zones that the DNCS uses:



US - United States of America.



UK - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.



Europe - All countries of Europe except the United Kingdom of Great

Britain and Northern Ireland.



Australia - All states and territories in the Commonwealth of Australia.



Local DST Zone - Used for all other countries and territories, except

as noted below.

If an area you serve follows the same DST observance as a country or territory in the DST Zone ID
list (US, Europe, Australia, and UK ), select that territory from the DST Zone ID list. For example, if
you serve a Canadian province that follows the same DST observance as the United States of
America, select US to define a DST Zone ID rule for that province. 

If an area you serve does not follow the DST observance of a territory in the DST Zone ID list, select 
Local DST Zone for the Zone ID.

Daylight Saving Time
Offset (minutes)

The time shift (in minutes) relative to standard time.

Example: If daylight saving time is one hour ahead, you would enter 60 in this
field. When a 0 (zero) is entered in this field, it indicates that the associated DST
rule is to be ignored and not applied to the associated DST Zone ID.

This field accepts any positive number from 0 to 1439.
