Daylight savings problem

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

VVX500. I set it via provisioning server to use NTP server to get right time.

Server is set to au.ntp.pool.org

Now, for timezone. I tried to set offset to 36000 (+10hr) and I tried to set city to Melbourne. Tried one OR another. In both cases time is 1 hr off, which is, I presume, is due to daylight savings.

On my PC I have the options to "Adjust daylight savings automatically", but can not find similar option in the phone config.

So, how do you adjust for daylight savings?

By the way, how do you select city code in "device.sntp.gmtOffsetcityID" field of config file?

 found this document:

But it is off by 1. If I set city to 112 (Melbourne), phone thinks it is in Magadan. I had to set to 113 (Sydney, Brisbane) and phone now shows Melbourne.

Thanks,
Rudolf

Hello @Rudolf ,
