Syntax
SETDefault -SYS DSTime = [-]<minutes> (-120 to 120)
SHow -SYS DSTime
0
The DSTime parameter specifies the displacement, in minutes, from non-daylight saving time. The DSTime parameter, along with the TimeZone parameter, allows the bridge/router to support Universal time for network communications spanning different time zones.
Set the displacement in minutes. Values of this parameter can be ±120 minutes (2 hours).
When you set your clock ahead in the spring (if your locality observes daylight saving time), set the DSTime parameter ahead by the same amount. For example, if you set the clock ahead by 60 minutes at the beginning of daylight saving time and reset the clock back 60 minutes at the end of daylight saving time, the DSTime parameter is set to 60 in the spring for daylight saving and reset to 0 at the end of daylight saving time.
In most cases, DSTime should be set to 60 during daylight saving time, and reset to 0 when daylight saving time ends.
