Date and Time
If the DHCP server in your network provides information about the SNTP server access, the 
correct date and time is automatically shown on the phone. If the DHCP server in your network 
does not provide an SNTP address, you have to set the SNTP address manually, using the 
SNTP IP address parameter. If no SNTP server is available, you have to configure the date 
and time manually.
For correct display of the current time, the Timezone offset must be set appropriately. This is 
the time offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If, for instance, the phone is located in 
Munich, Germany, the offset is +1 (or simply 1); if it is located in Los Angeles, USA, the offset 
is -8. For countries or areas with half-our time zones, like South Australia or India, non-integer 
values can be used, for example 10.5 for South Australia (UTC +10:30).
If the phone is located in a country with daylight saving, the administrator can choose whether 
daylight saving time is activated manually or automatically. If Daylight saving is enabled, and 
Auto time change is disabled, daylight saving time (DST) is in effect immediately. If Auto time 
change 
is enabled, daylight saving is controlled by the Time zone parameter. This selects the 
daylight saving time zone which is characterized by the start and end date for daylight saving 
time.
The Difference (minutes) provides the time difference for daylight saving time in minutes. This 
parameter is required also when Auto time change is enabled. In Germany, for instance, as in 
most countries, this is +60.
