This article addresses Daylight Savings Time ( DST ) in the Octel 200/300.
The Octel 200/300 has a programmable table that will automatically change the time on the server when the dates are entered in the table.
1. Log into the server with the admin or maint password.
2. Go into the update portion of the software by typing "update" once you log in and are at the "@" prompt
3. Once you are at the "." prompt you can list the DST table out with the command "List DST" The system will then display the dates that have been programmed when the server will change time. See below for a screen shot.
.l dst
DAYLIGHT-SAVING-TIME CHANGE DATES:

11/03/13 BACK
11/04/12 BACK
4. If you need to add new or more entries you will use the command "Add DST" and press return. You can then enter up to 10 entires in the table. The format for entering the date is MM/DD/YY, A or B. A is used when the time is to go 1 hour ahead and B is used when you would like the server to go back 1 hour.
