How does this affect the MERLIN MAGIX® Integrated System?
Since the release of MERLIN MAGIX Release 1.5, you have the ability to program the start and stop dates for automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustments.

How do I change the Automatic Daylight Saving Time feature?
From the administration position, using a MERLIN MAGIX MLX20L or 4424LD+ telephone; press the following menu administration prompts:
[ MENU ] > [ SYSTEM PROGRAM ] > [ START ] > [ SYSTEM ] > [ TIME ] > [ ADST ] > [ ENABLE ] > [ ENTER ] > [ CUSTOM ] > [ ENTER ] > [ NORTHERN ] > [ ENTER ]
Then: [ START ] > [ SUNDAY ] > [ ENTER ] > [ SECOND (week) ] > [ ENTER ] > [ MARCH ] > [ ENTER ] > [ 2:00AM ] > [ ENTER ]
Then: [ END ] > [ SUNDAY ] > [ ENTER ] > [ FIRST ] > [ NOVEMBER ] > [ ENTER ] > [ 2:00AM ] > [ ENTER ] > [ EXIT ]
This procedure can also be accomplished locally or remotely using WinSPM.

How does this affect older MERLIN MAGIX or MERLIN LEGEND Communications System?
If you have a system older than the MERLIN MAGIX Release 1.5, you must continue to manually reset the system time when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends; as outlined in your Installation and Programming guide.
