Establishing daylight savings rules

Establishing daylight savings rules

DEFINITY ECS allows you to set the daylight savings time rules so features, such
as time-of-day routing and call detail recording (CDR), adjust automatically to
daylight savings time. The correct date and time assure that CDR records are
correct. You can set daylight savings time rules to transition to and from daylight
savings time outside of normal business hours, so the number of affected CDR
records is small.

You can set up 15 customized daylight savings time rules. This allows
administrators with switches in several different time zones to set up a rule for
each. A daylight savings time rule specifies the exact time when you want to
transition to and from daylight savings time. It also specifies the increment at
which to transition (for example, 1 hour).
