Setting System Date and Time
A system administrator can manually reset the system time or date when it is necessary, for
example, when the system is defaulted or for daylight-saving time. Any administrator can
change the date and time that appears on all display endpoints and in the SMDR reports. The
day of the week is automatically calculated and set by the system when the date is entered. If
you make a mistake while setting system date and time, press to backspace or press
or CANCEL to leave it unchanged and start over.
To set the system date and time:
1. While on-hook, enter the Set Date/Time feature code (9800). Your display shows
DATE
<current date>
.
2. If you do not need to change the date, press or ACCEPT to skip to the TIME XX:XX
prompt.
3. Use the dialpad buttons to enter the month, day, and year. For example, press 020306
for February 3, 2006. When finished, the display shows
TIME <current time>. If you
entered the date incorrectly, the display shows
INVALID DATE, and you are prompted to
enter a new date.
If using an endpoint programmed for the Japanese language, enter the date as year,
month, day. For example, 060203 for February 3, 2006.
If you do not need to change the time, press or
ACCEPT twice to exit. The display
shows
SYSTEM DATE AND TIME UPDATED.
4. Use the dialpad buttons to enter the time in hours and minutes. For example, enter
0900 for 9:00. If you entered the time incorrectly, the display shows
INVALID TIME
and you are prompted to enter a new time.
5. If the system is set for 12-hour display format, the display shows SELECT AM OR PM
(AM=1 PM=2).
Press (or the AM menu button) for AM or press (or the PM menu
button) for PM. The display shows
SYSTEM DATE AND TIME UPDATED. If you press
any button other than 1 or 2, the display shows
INVALID TIME and you are prompted to
enter a new time.
If using an endpoint programmed for the Japanese language, the prompts will be
reversed and you will set the AM or PM before the hour and minutes.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Support
If the Network Time Protocol (NTP) feature is enabled in DB Programming, the network date
and time automatically synchronizes daily at 12:15 AM with an identified atomic clock.
IMPORTANT
The Inter-Tel 5000 Platform supports the Automatic Daylight Saving Time
(British Summer Time, in Europe) feature. However, the Enable Daylight
Saving Time flag in DB Programming must be set to Yes to use the Auto-
matic Daylight Saving Time/British Summer Time feature.
