Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of temporary advancing clocks during the summer time so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically, clocks are adjusted forward one hour at the start of spring and backward in autumn.
Many countries have used the DST at various times, details vary by location. By default, the DST is set to Automatic, so it can be adjusted automatically from the current time zone configuration. You can configure DST for the desired area as required.
Procedure
Daylight saving time can be configured using the configuration files or locally.

The time zone and corresponding DST pre-configurations exist in the AutoDST file. If the
DST is set to Automatic, the IP phone obtains the DST configuration from the AutoDST file.
You can customize the AutoDST file if required. The AutoDST file allows you to add or modify time zone and DST settings for your area each year.
Before customizing, you need to obtain the AutoDST file. You can ask the distributor or
Yealink FAE for DST template. You can also obtain the DST template online: http://support.yealink.com/documentFront/forwardToDocumentFrontDisplayPage . For more information on obtaining the template file, refer to
Obtaining Configuration Files and
Resource Files on page 48 .
The following table lists description of each element in the template file:

Start time of the DST
End time of the DST
The offset time (in minutes) of DST
When customizing an AutoDST file, learn the following:
<DSTData> indicates the start of a template and </DSTData> indicates the end of a template.
Add or modify time zone and DST settings between <DSTData> and </DSTData>.
The display order of time zone is corresponding to the szTime order specified in the
AutoDST.xml file.
If the start time of DST is greater than the end time, the valid time of DST is from the start time of this year to the end time of the next year.
Customizing an AutoDST file:
1.
Open the AutoDST file using an ASCII editor.
2.
Add or modify time zone and DST settings as you want in the AutoDST file.

3.
Save this file and place it to the provisioning server (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
4.
Specify the access URL of the AutoDST file in the configuration files.
Procedure
The access URL of the AutoDST file can be specified using the configuration files.
Configuration File <MAC>.cfg
Specify the access URL of the
AutoDST file.
Parameters: auto_dst.url
Configuring Basic Features
Details of Configuration Parameters:
Parameters Permitted Values Default auto_dst.url URL within 511 characters Blank
Description:
Configures the access URL of the AutoDST file (AutoDST.xml).
Example: auto_dst.url = tftp://192.168.1.100/AutoDST.xml
During the auto provisioning process, the IP phone connects to the provisioning server “192.168.1.100”, and downloads the AutoDST file “AutoDST.xml”. After update, you will find a new time zone “Paradise” and updated DST of “Pakistan
(Islamabad)” and “India (Calcutta)" via web user interface: Settings->Time &
Date->Time Zone.
Note: It works only if the value of the parameter "local_time.summer_time" is set to 2
(Automatic).
