Hi,
Could you please advice,as how we setup the middle east time zone on the 4400 R5.0Ux.
We tried configuring through GMT+4.0-but that doesn't work.
thanks

Here is some informations that maybe you could use:

MET-01DST;M3.5.0,M10.5.0

MET: Middle Europe Time
-01: One hour from GMT0
DST: Daylight Saving Time
M3.5.0: Summer time: Last week (5) of March (3) Saturday (0) at 2:00am
M10.5.0: Winter time: Last week of October (10)
