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", "appointment" and "alarm
clock" functions.
There are two methods for updating the
time and date on your base station: man-
ually with one of the registered handsets
(page 11) or automatically by synchroni-
sation 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
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 man-
ually using a handset.
¤
The Last synchronisation with time server
field shows the last time when the base
station compared time and date set-
tings with a time server.
¤
In the Time Server
net 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 setting.

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 automat-
ically switches between summer time
and standard time, you must always
activate here.

Click the Set button to save the settings
in your phone.
Once you have activated synchronisation
the base station will compare time and
date with a time server as soon as an inter-
net connection is established.
Synchronisation will usually occur once a
day (at night) if synchronisation is acti-
vated. 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).
If you register a new handset on your base
station it will assume the time and date of
the base station without any additional
synchronisation with the time server.
Date and time settings are transferred to
every handset after synchronisation.
