Synchronizing Network Time
System administrators can synchronize the minutes past the hour across the network without
changing the hour. This is useful when the nodes are in different time zones.
If the node time is off by more than 30 minutes, synchronizing the minutes may cause the hour
to change. Also, network time is automatically synchronized every day at 12:30 AM (00:30),
using the time setting on the node with the lowest number.
Or, if the Network Time Protocol (NTP) support feature is enabled, the system updates the net-
work time in accordance with an atomic clock referenced to the system time zone. For more
information about NTP, see page 256.
To synchronize the clocks in all nodes in the network:
While on-hook, enter the Synchronize Network Time feature code (9811). You hear a
confirmation tone, and the display shows
NETWORK TIME SYNCHRONIZED.
Programming the Database Using a System Administrator Endpoint
Any system administrator endpoint can program some parts of the system database. However,
programming requires a display endpoint, such as an Executive Display, Professional Display
or Model 8560 digital endpoint or the Model 8660 IP endpoint.
A system administrator endpoint can be used to perform the following programming:
Endpoint Options:
Create or delete administrator stations
Create or delete attendant stations
Create or delete House Phones
Assign endpoints to attendants
Program usernames
Program endpoint toll restriction
System Options:
Program Do-Not-Disturb (DND) messages
Program up to 10 passwords for the DB Programming application
Program endpoint extensions
Swap extensions
Trunk Options:
Individual trunk answer supervision type, caller information, hybrid balance, signaling
type (DTMF or pulse), and trunk group assignment
Trunk group answer access, ring-in, toll restrictions, and trunk lists
A password can protect entry to the DB Programming application at the administrator end-
point. A password prevents unauthorized users from altering the system database.
IMPORTANT
Passwords are important to system security. Without sufficient password
protection, the system database is vulnerable to unauthorized access.
