Changing DST Rules
Quick Path: DNCS Administrative Console > DNCS tab > System Provisioning
tab > DST > [Select DST Zone ID] > [Change Desired Fields] > Save
As your system changes or is upgraded, you may need to change a DST rule.
Notes:
As your system changes or is upgraded, you may need to change a DST rule.
Notes:
Once you set up a DST rule, that rule remains in effect for each subsequent year;
you should not need to adjust the rule unless you upgrade your system release
(SR) software.
SR 2.7/3.7/4.2 SP0.1 and SR 2.7.1/3.7.1/4.2.1 Sites—Always verify that the correct
DST rule is used by the appropriate hubs. Verify that the Timezone and DST
Zone ID settings are set correctly in the Hub window. These settings must be
correct because the DNCS uses them to broadcast DST data to set-tops in the
hubs.
