SAST/CAT Timezone Issue on Fanvil X3S/X3SP

[TekkNinja]

Hi everyone. I posted this thread a while back and never got a chance to investigate further

I have looked into the latest template fanvil.ph.xml on 16.0.5.612 with the phones on version 2.10.1.6836.

<option value="32" displaytext="GMT+2 Harare, Pretoria" zone="2:00" id="65">
        <item name="timezonename">EET_002</item>
        <item name="dstenabled">0</item>
        <item name="dstoffsetminutes"></item>
        <item name="dststartmonth"></item>
        <item name="dststartweek"></item>
        <item name="dststartday"></item>
        <item name="dststarthour"></item>
        <item name="dststartmin"></item>
        <item name="dstendmonth"></item>
        <item name="dstendweek"></item>
        <item name="dstendday"></item>
        <item name="dstendhour"></item>
        <item name="dstendmin"></item>
        <item name="timezonex3s">8</item>
        <item name="timezonenamex3s">UTC+2</item>
        <item name="locationx3s">10</item>
        <item name="dstx3s">1</item>
      </option>

The timezone settings in the provisioning config file sent to one of the X3S phones shows the following:

<Time_Zone>8</Time_Zone>
<Time_Zone_Name>UTC+2</Time_Zone_Name>
<Location>10</Location>
<Enable_DST>1</Enable_DST>
<DST_Type>1</DST_Type>

It seems that having SAST/CAT on the PBX is provisioning the X3S/X3SP phones with DST enabled which seems to stem from the following line in the fanvil.ph.xml provisioning template

<item name="dstx3s">1</item>

For Comparison the X5S gets the following config which i feel for SAST/CAT should actually be a 0 and not a 2 as we dont do any DST

#Configure the daylight saving time feature; 0-Disabled, 1-Enabled, 2-Automatic (default);
local_time.summer_time = 2

Manually disabling DST on each phone solves my issue but is a headache to do on multiple phones and when the phone gets re provisioned it means having to go through the whole process again..

Just to add to this. When i manually disable DST on the X3S and export the current config of it in xml i get the following (snipped to relevant info)

<Time_Zone>8</Time_Zone>
<Location>0</Location>
<Time_Zone_Name>UTC+2</Time_Zone_Name>
<Enable_DST>0</Enable_DST>
<DST_Fixed_Type>2</DST_Fixed_Type>

On an X3S that has been provisioned and the current config on the phone exported as xml i see the following:

<Time_Zone>8</Time_Zone>
<Location>10</Location>
<Time_Zone_Name>UTC+2</Time_Zone_Name>
<Enable_DST>1</Enable_DST>
<DST_Fixed_Type>2</DST_Fixed_Type>

This would indicate that the following changes could be made to the provisioning template for my timezone:

<option value="32" displaytext="GMT+2 Harare, Pretoria" zone="2:00" id="65">
        <item name="timezonename">EET_002</item>
        <item name="dstenabled">0</item>
        <item name="dstoffsetminutes"></item>
        <item name="dststartmonth"></item>
        <item name="dststartweek"></item>
        <item name="dststartday"></item>
        <item name="dststarthour"></item>
        <item name="dststartmin"></item>
        <item name="dstendmonth"></item>
        <item name="dstendweek"></item>
        <item name="dstendday"></item>
        <item name="dstendhour"></item>
        <item name="dstendmin"></item>
        <item name="timezonex3s">8</item>
        <item name="timezonenamex3s">UTC+2</item>
       <item name="locationx3s">0</item>
        <item name="dstx3s">0</item>
      </option>

Edit: For clarification the 2 changes would be:
item name="locationx3s" changed from 10 to 0
item name="dstx3s" changed from 1 to 0
