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
"alarm clock" function.
There are two methods for updating the time and date on your base station:
manually with one of the registered handsets (
£
Page 14) or automatically by
synchronization with a time server on the Internet.
Activate/deactivate synchronization 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 synchronization 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 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 daylight saving 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 is displayed if your
time zone differentiates between daylight saving time and standard time.
Select
On to change the time automatically to daylight saving time or stand-
ard time when daylight saving time begins and ends respectively.
Select
Off if you do not want to change to daylight saving time.
Please note: If the date and time are updated by a time server that automat-
ically switches between daylight saving 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 synchronization, the time and date will be compared
with a time server as soon as an Internet connection is established.
Synchronization will usually occur once a day (at night) if synchronization is
activated. Any additional synchronization will take place only after each new
system start of the base station (e.g. after a firmware update or a power cut).
If you register a new handset on your base station it will assume the time and
date of the base station without any additional synchronization with the time
server.
