ABOUT OVERRIDING DEFAULT DST SETTINGS
The system manager automatically applies daylight saving time (DST) settings for your chosen time zone. Only click Override default DST if you
want to alter your time zone’s default DST parameters.
The SM5200 restarts following changes to DST settings. If you have set an invalid DST override setting (for example, a start or end time that
cannot exist due to the time shift), the system manager will not implement the setting after restarting. Check your DST settings following a
restart to ensure that your settings are valid.
