Got mine set up to auto switch... now someone tell me that there is a product bulletin saying not to do this and bad things will happen.

After that of course our POS telemanagement joke is gonna do it's daily time sync so we should be GTG.

'Course, this only applies to you who have to change it (it pays to be in the midwest sometimes)

For those of you who haven't a clue as to what I'm on about (or intrested in some DLST history) I support several sites in Indy.

Changes and irregularities

What time is it when the Indiana capital is noon?

Indiana is one of three U.S. states which do not Spring ahead from "standard" to "daylight saving" time or Fall back from daylight to standard six months later. Arizona and Hawaii are the others. By State Law, most of Indiana is on Eastern Standard Time (EST) all year long.

The statute creates three different time arrangements in the Hoosier State:

77 counties (including state capital Indianapolis) are in the Eastern Time Zone but do not change to Daylight time in April; instead they remain on Standard Time all year long; 10 counties -- five near Chicago, IL, and five near Evansville, IN, are in the Central Time Zone and use both Central Standard and Central Daylight; and five other counties -- two near Cincinnati, OH, and three near Louisville, KY -- are in the Eastern Time Zone but use both Eastern Standard and Eastern Daylight.

I did not realize that Sunday was day light savings time. And since I am new, I feel that I can ask a dumb question? Do you use LD 20 to change the time: and how did you set it up on a timer????

LD 2
There is a section in the NTP called Set and Print Daylights savings time.

LD2 TTAD to check the time STAD to set time and date. I usually do a TTAT and then STAD and follow the TTAD print out making changes where I need to since the format can be a little confusing.

BWTM Set the date and time for the clock to move backward

FWTM Set the date and time for the clock to move forward

SDST Enables the automatic daylight savings adjustment

TDST Querys the daylight savings time adjustment information...

FWTM APR 1 SUN 2 (AT 02:00 4/4/2004 )

Awww heck... look in the admin NTP under LD2.
