Establishing daylight savings rules

DEFINITY ECS allows you to set the daylight savings time rules so feat ures, suc h

as time-of-day routing and call detail record ing (CDR), adjust automatically to

daylight savings time. The correct date and ti m e 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 zo nes 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).
