asterisk users - Jun 2010 - How to disable day light saving on Snom 360 phones?

Greetings,

Sounds like a simple thing to do, but I was not able to do it on these
particular phones. Snom wiki was not helpful. My client wants to keep his
phones pointed to UTC time, no DST, no change in timezone, i.e. to stay at 0
hours difference.

The phones are provisioned from a tftp server.

If I remove 'dst' value from the provisioning file, on bootup phones
force
users to pickup a time zone. The only suitable timezone is 'GBR-0', but
it's
Greenwich time, which does take in account DST. If I do 'utc_offset:
-3600',
it'll be good only until next DST.

Does anybody khow can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Zeeshan A Zakaria

How about this?

XML Syntax: Settings/dst/xml
http://wiki.snom.com/Settings/dst

Settings/utc offset:
Signed UTC offset in seconds. This value is retrieved automatically from 
the timezone configuration. Usually there will be no need to change this 
setting. 
http://wiki.snom.com/Settings/utc_offset

NOTE: The timezone setting sets utc_offset and dst automatically !

I knew somebody will send me these links, so I mentioned in my question that
wiki was of no help. These were the first pages I went through, and they
don't tell how to *disable* DST. To have DST picked up automatically by
these phones based on timezone is so nice of Snom but that is exactly what I
*don't* want in this case. Setting it to '0' seconds doesn't
help either.
