Configuring Regional Parameters and Supplementary Services Localizing Your IP Phone 8 Managing the Time and Date Cisco IP phones obtain the current time information in one of three ways: • NTP Server-You can configure one or two NTP servers on the phone. When the phone first boots up, it tries to contact the first NTP server to get the current time. The phone periodically synchronizes its time with the NTP server. The synchronization period is fixed at 1 hour. In between updates, the phone tracks time with its own internal clock. • SIP Messages-Each SIP message (request or response) sent to the phone may contain a Date header with the current time information. If the header is present, the phone uses it to update its current time. • Manual Setup-The phone also lets you manually enter the current time and date from the phone GUI or the web UI. However, this value is overridden by the NTP time or SIP Message Date whenever they are available to the phone. Manual setup requires you to enter the time in 24-hour format only. The time served by the NTP Server and the SIP Date Header are expressed in GMT time. The local time is obtained by offsetting the GMT according to the time zone of the region. The Time Zone parameter can be configured from the web page or through provisioning. This time can be further offset by the Time Offset (HH/mm) parameter, which must be entered in 24-hour format. This parameter can also be configured from the phone's LCD display. NOTE: The Time Zone and Time Offset (HH/ mm) offset values are not applied to manual time and date setup. Configuring Daylight Savings Time The phone supports auto adjustment for daylight saving time. You must set Daylight Savings Time Enable to yes and enter the DST rule. This option affects the time stamp on CallerID. To enter the rule for calculating DST, include the start, end, and save values separated by semi-colons (;) as follows: Start = start-time; end=end-time; save = save-time Cisco SPA and Wireless IP Administration Phone Guide 167
