Time and date settings
The phone obtains the time settings in one of two ways:
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Set Local Date (mm/dd/yyyy) |
Sets the local date (mm represents the month and dd represents the day). The year is optional and uses two or four digits. Default: Blank |
Set Local Time (HH/mm) |
Sets the local time (hh represents hours and mm represents minutes). Seconds are optional. Default: Blank |
Time Zone |
Selects the number of hours to add to GMT to generate the local time for caller ID generation. Choices are GMT-12:00, GMT-11:00,…, GMT, GMT+01:00, GMT+02:00, …, GMT+13:00. The time of the log messages and status messages are in UTC time and are not affected by the time zone setting. Default: GMT-08:00 |
Time Offset (HH/mm) |
This specifies the offset in 24-hour format from GMT to use for the local system time. The NTP Server time is expressed in GMT time. The local time is obtained by offsetting the GMT according to the time zone of the region. Default: Blank |
Ignore DHCP Time Offset |
When used with some routers that have DHCP with time offset values configured, the IP phone uses the router settings and ignores the IP phone time zone and offset settings. To ignore the router DHCP time offset value, and use the local time zone and offset settings, choose yes for this option. If you choose no, the IP phone uses the router's DHCP time offset value. Default: Yes. |
Daylight Saving Time Rule |
Enter the rule for calculating daylight saving time. This rule is comprised of three fields. Each field is separated by a semicolon (;). Optional values inside brackets [ ] are assumed to be 0 if they are not specified. Midnight is represented by colons. For example, 0:0:0 of the given date. This is the format of the rule: Start = <start-time>; end=<end-time>; save = <save-time>. The <start-time> and <end-time> values specify the start and end dates and times of daylight saving time. Each value is in this format: <month> /<day> / <weekday>[/HH:[mm[:ss]]] The <save-time> value is the number of hours, minutes, and/or seconds to add to the current time during daylight saving time. The <save-time> value can be preceded by a negative (-) sign if subtraction is desired instead of addition. The <save-time> value is in this format: [/[+|-]HH:[mm[:ss]]] The <month> value equals any value in the range 1-12 (January-December). The <day> value equals [+|-] any value in the range 1-31. If <day> is -1, it means the <weekday> on or before the end of the month (in other words the last occurrence of < weekday> in that month). The <weekday> value equals any value in the range 1-7 (Monday-Sunday). It can also equal 0. If the <weekday> value is 0, this means that the date to start or end daylight saving is exactly the date given. In that case, the <day> value must not be negative. If the <weekday> value is not 0 and the <day> value is positive, then daylight saving starts or ends on the <weekday> value on or after the date given. If the <weekday> value is not 0 and the <day> value is negative, then daylight saving starts or ends on the <weekday> value on or before the date given. Where:
Default: 3/-1/7/2;end=10/-1/7/2;save=1. |
Daylight Saving Time Enable |
