### Description

```asn1
dstBeginMonth OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {january(1), february(2), march(3), april(4), may(5), june(6), july(7), august(8), september(9), october(10), november(11), december(12), absolute(13), disabled(14)}
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"<Definition> The month during which daylight saving time (DST) begins.
An entry of 'absolute' means that dstBeginSecondsToTransition defines an
absolute time to begin DST relative to midnight January 1, 1970. In this
case, any value indicated in the dstEndMonth, dstBeginOccurences,
dstBeginDayOfWeek, dstBeginDayOfMonth, dstEndOccurances, dstEndDayOfWeek, and
dstEndDayOfMonth objects are irrelevant, and the dstEndSecondsToTransition
object defines an absolute time to end DST relative to midnight January 1,
1970\.
If the daylightSavingNode is enabled (i.e. globalDaylightSaving =
enableDaylightSavingNode), and the value of this object is disabled(14),
then the values in the remaining objects in this row of the
dstTable are irrelevant and therefore ignored by the device.
<Unit>
<Object Identifier> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1206.4.2.6.3.7.2.1.2"
DEFVAL {March}
