6.6.1

Making Sure the NTP Server is Enabled

You can manually set date and time displayed on your phone but if a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server is deployed and enabled by your administrator, date and time are automatically retrieved
over the Internet from the server and manually setting them will not be possible. You'll then receive
a message Set by NTP.

To make sure the NTP server is enabled:
1. Open the Date and Time screen (MENU hard key > Settings > Date and Time).
2. Select NTP Server.
3. If not already 'Enabled', notify your network administrator.
To configure the NTP server, see the Administrator's Manual.
To enable/disable obtaining time zone from the DHCP server:
1. Open the Date and Time screen (MENU hard key > Settings > Date and Time).
It's recommended to implement an NTP server. If the phone's 'NTP server' setting is
set to 'Disabled', inform the network administrator. Only the network administrator
can change it. It must be set to 'Enabled' for date and time to be automatically
retrieved from the NTP server. System administrators can see the Administrator's
Manual for detailed information.
If date and time are manually set, the settings are not retained after rebooting the
phone or powering off. You will need to manually reset date and time if you reboot or
power off.
