Edit your SIPDefault.cnf file on your tftp server and do something like 
this:

time_zone: EST                  ; Time Zone Phone is in
dst_offset: 1                   ; Offset from Phone's time when DST is 
in effect
dst_start_month: March          ; Month in which DST starts
dst_start_day: ""               ; Day of month in which DST starts
dst_start_day_of_week: Sun      ; Day of week in which DST starts
dst_start_week_of_month: 2      ; Week of month in which DST starts
dst_start_time: 02              ; Time of day in which DST starts
dst_stop_month: Nov             ; Month in which DST stops
dst_stop_day: ""                ; Day of month in which DST stops
dst_stop_day_of_week: Sunday    ; Day of week in which DST stops
dst_stop_week_of_month: 1       ; Week of month in which DST stops 
8=last week of month
dst_stop_time: 2                ; Time of day in which DST stops
dst_auto_adjust: 1              ; Enable(1-Default)/Disable(0) DST 
automatic adjustment
