Region and Time
Path: System -> Region and Time
System time is very important for the IPPBX system, especially when the IPPBX system handles inbound phone
calls according to time conditions, then only if the system time is correct will calls be handled properly. Also, call
logs and call recordings files are named with system time. If time’s not correct on the system, the phone system
will not work properly.
At the initial setup while you going through the quick setup wizard your location would be set. If you have skipped
the quick setup wizard or you want to change the time zone, you may do it here.
Location and time may be configured separately. Both modifying location and time settings require rebooting the
IPPBX system.
The location settings will determine the type of tone (Dial tone, Busy, Congestion tone, etc.) you heard on the
phones, the time zone and also the opermode on the Analog Settings page. So you may not change the location
settings here but adjust the time settings only.
You may set the Time Zone and NTP Server to let the IPPBX system synchronize time from the NTP server. This is
by default how the system time works.
Or you may manually configure the system time.
In the Set Current PBX Time blank, you may manually input the date and time to set it as the current PBX time or
you may click on to synchronize the current time of your operating system. Then click on the
button to save the manually set time to the IPPBX hardware.
