4.1
Configuring Date and Time Manually
Note:
By default, date and time settings are automatically provisioned via the enterprise
DHCP server when the phone is connected to the Internet and to the power supply, but
you can manually change them if required. This section shows how.
The phone automatically retrieves date and time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
when connected to the internet. To configure the NTP server for automatic provisioning of
date and time, see Section 4.1.2. NTP is a protocol for distributing Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC) by synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched,
variable-latency data networks.
To configure date and time:
Use the table as reference.
