Copying the date/time from time server
The date and time are shown in the idle display of registered handsets. They are
important, for example, for stating the correct time in the calls list and for the
"anniversary", "appointments" and "alarm clock" functions.
There are two methods for updating the time and date on your base station:
manually with one of the registered handsets (
) or automatically by
synchronisation with a time server on the Internet.
Activate/deactivate synchronisation with a time server as follows:
¤
Open the following Web page:
Settings
¢
Miscellaneous
.
¤
In the
Automatic adjustment of System Time with Time Server
field, select
Yes
to
activate synchronisation between 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 the base sta-
tion compared the 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 (maxi-
mum 74 characters). The time server "europe.pool.ntp.org" is set as default
on the base station. You can overwrite the setting.
¤
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 British 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 British Summer Time and standard
time.
Select
On
if you want the time to change automatically to British Summer
Time or standard time when British Summer Time begins and ends respec-
tively.
Select
Off
if you do not want to change to British Summer Time.
Please note:
If the date and time are updated by a time server that automat-
ically switches between British Summer Time and standard time, you must
always select
Off
here.
¤
Select 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) if synchronisation is
activated. Any additional synchronisation will take place only after each new
system start of the base station (e.g. after a firmware update or a power cut).
