On the IP phones, you can enable or disable a Time Server to be used to synchronize time on
the phones with the Timer Server you specify. An Administrator can use the IP Phone UI, Mitel
Web UI, or configuration files to enable/disable the Time Server and specify a Time Server 1,
Timer Server 2, and/or Time Server 3. A User can enable/disable the Time Server using the IP
