Re: Time zone problems: st516v6 firmware 7.4.3.2
Thanks. I didn't find any references to the time zone in the Wizard section:
»img519.imageshack.us/img519/281/···7ta1.png
but there is one in the System section:
»img150.imageshack.us/img150/6995···2js6.png
settime timezone=-05:00 daylightsaving=enabled
This would suggest that any references to specific cities within a given time zone seen in the GUI can be safely ignored. The only thing that matters is the offset from UTC and the DST flag (on/off). The time zone:
(UTC -05:00) Bogota, Lima, Quito
should work just fine, as long as the DST flag is set to:
Summer Time: Yes
------
All the above can be confirmed when you go to Telnet. Leave [geotimezonename] and [rtc] blank (rtc = real time clock, not supported in v7.4.3.2).
1) menu - system - settime - enter all settings - tab - ok

(to exit "menu" mode: hit "two dots" or tab-cancel)
2) To verify the new settings:
=> system settime

Here the "time zone name" is simply shown as:
(UTC-05:00)
Now, when you go to GUI it is shown as:
(UTC -05:00) Bogota, Lima, Quito

It obviously looks like a GUI programming bug. |
