Copying the date/time from the time server
In addition to manual entry on a registered handset, you can also automatically update the
date and time through synchronisation with an Internet time server:
¤
Open the
Settings
¢
Miscellaneous
website in the Web configurator.
¤
In the
Automatic adjustment of System Time with Time Server
field, select
Yes
to activate
synchronisation between the base station and a time server. If you select
No
the base
station will not adopt time settings from a time server. In this case you should set the
time and date manually using a handset.
¤
The
Last synchronisation with time server
field shows the last time when the base station
compared time and date settings with a time server.
¤
In the
Time Server
field, enter the Internet address or name of the time server from which
the base station should adopt its time and date settings. The time server
"europe.pool.ntp.org" is set as default on the base station. You can overwrite the set-
ting.
¤
From the
Country
list, select the country in which your base station is being operated.
¤
The
Time Zone
field shows the valid time zone for the
Country
. It shows the deviation
between local time (not summer time) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If a country is divided into various time zones, they will all appear in the list. Select the
appropriate
Time Zone
for the base station from the list.
¤
The
Automatically adjust clock to summer-time changes
field will be displayed if your time
zone differentiates between summer time and winter time.
Activate
On
if you want the time to change automatically to summer time or winter time
when summer time begins and ends respectively.
Activate
Off
if you do not want to change to summer time.
Please note:
If the date and time are updated by a time server that automatically
switches between summer time and standard time, you must always activate
Off
here.
¤
Click the
Set
button to save the settings in your phone.
Once you have activated synchronisation, the time and date will be compared with a time
server as soon as an Internet connection is established.
Synchronisation will usually occur once a day (at night) when synchronisation is activated.
Synchronisation will also occur at every new system start of the base station (e.g. after a
firmware update or a power cut).
Date and time settings are transferred to every handset after synchronisation.
