Querying The Phone Status - Siemens Gigaset A580IP Manual

Setting the phone with the PC
Please note
u
The default time server "europe.pool.ntp.org" will remain stored in the base sta-
tion even if you overwrite it. If you delete your time server from the Time Server
field and synchronization is still activated, the base station will continue to syn-
chronize with the default time server. However, it will no longer appear in
the Time Server field.
u
If you have entered your own time server in the Time Server field and the base
station is unable to synchronize for ten consecutive attempts, the base station
will synchronize with the default time server.
u
If you have deactivated synchronization with a time server, and if the date and
time are not set on any handset, then the base station will attempt to reference
date and time settings from the CID information of an incoming call.
