Daylight Saving Time Update - North America

The United States has changed the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) starting in 2007 to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Canada has adapted these same dates while Mexico will retain the historical dates for DST. In order for your Intellex unit to correctly display the correct local time on both the Intellex and Network Client, both the Intellex unit AND Network Client must be updated to track these new DST start and end dates. American Dynamics is providing support for the Intellex product to comply with these new DST dates through software updates, links to third party software suppliers, and technical information explaining the changes necessary to comply. For both products to be compliant with the new DST dates both the Microsoft operating system and the Intellex and Network Client software must be updated. In order to help you select the correct product updates and install them properly, a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) has been compiled. Please download and review the Intellex DST Frequently Asked Questions before starting the upgrade process.
