Aastra 67xxi and NTP

Using a NTP server with the Aastra 6731i in Africa is difficult since the phone has settings for the rest of the world except Africa - especially Namibia. Edit and add the following to the aastra.cfg file (bold red was added, bold blue is optional if Daylight Savings Time is to be used):

============================================================
# Time Server Settings
## =====================
time server disabled:0    #server enabled(0), server disabled(1)
dst config: 0             #daylight savings, OFF(0), 30 min summertime(1), 1h summertime(2), automatic(3)(default)

time server1:172.16.104.72
time server2:172.16.104.73
#time server2: # least one time server IP address or
#time server3: # qualified domain name

#Time and Date Settings
## ====================
time zone name:Custom  #Required setting if time-server is enabled
time format:1 #12hours(0), 24hours(1)
date format:2 #YYYY-MM-DD(2)
time zone minutes: -120 #For GMT +2 = -120, for GMT +1 = -60
#dst minutes: 60 #Amount of minutes to add for DST
#dst [start/end] relative date: 1 #1 = relative, 0 = absolute
#dst start month: 4 #1 = January
#dst end month: 8 #12 = December
#dst start week: 1 #First week of the month = 1
#dst end week: 1
#dst start day: 7 # 1 = Monday
#dst end day: 7


=======================================================================

Hi I set daylight saving in aastra.cfg like below.
The problem is it doesn't work correctly when I set date of ntp server to 2015/9/20 and time. 20:00 it shows time 20:00 instead of 21:00. How can I solve the problem ؟

# Time Server Settings
## =====================
time server disabled:0 #server enabled(0), server disabled(1)
dst config: 3 #daylight savings, OFF(0), 30 min summertime(1), 1h summertime(2), automatic(3)(default)

time server1:010.010.031.004
time server2:010.010.031.004
#time server2: # least one time server IP address or
#time server3: # qualified domain name

#Tim and Date Settings
time zone name:Custom #Required setting if time-server is enabled
time format:1 #12hours(0), 24hours(1)
date format:2 #YYYY-MM-DD(2)
time zone minutes:-210

dst minutes: 60 #Amount of minutes to add for DST
dst [start/end] relative date: 0 #1 = relative, 0 = absolute
dst start month: 04
dst start day: 02
dst start hour: 00
dst end month: 09
dst end day: 29
dst end hour: 00

Remove DST for troubleshooting (as per my example) and let me know how it changes.

ok.i Removed dst and time changed.

Changes to correct time? It may be worthwhile to have two aastra.cfg files and a script that you manually activate the correct one when the time changes and leave DST out. Else fine tune your DST settings.
