Please note: If the date and time are updated by a time server that automatically 
switches between summer time and standard time, you must always activate 
Off
 here.

Click 
Set
 to save the settings in your phone. 
Once you have activated synchronisation, the time and date will be compared with a time 
server as soon as an Internet connection is established. 
Synchronisation will usually occur once a day (at night) if synchronisation is activated. Any 
additional synchronisation will take place only after each new system start of the base sta-
tion (e.g. after a firmware update or a power cut). 
If you register a new handset on your base station it will assume the time and date of the 
base station without any additional synchronisation with the time server. 
Date and time settings are transferred to every handset after synchronisation.

General information about your phone is displayed. 
¤
In the menu list, click the 
Status
 tab. 
The following information is displayed:
IP Configuration

The phone's current IP address within the local network. For assigning the IP address, 
MAC address
The phone's device address. 
Software 
Firmware version 
Version of the firmware currently downloaded. You can download updates of the 
firmware on your phone (page 117). Firmware updates are available on the Internet.

Please note:
– The default time server "europe.pool.ntp.org" will remain stored in the base station even if you 
overwrite it. If you delete your time server from the 
Time Server
 field and synchronisation is still 
activated, the base station will return to synchronisation with the default time server. However, it 
will no longer appear in the
Time Server
 field. 
– The base station will return to synchronisation with the default time server if you have entered 
your own time server in the 
Time Server 
field and the base station is unable to synchronise time 
and date for ten consecutive attempts. 
– If you have deactivated synchronisation with a time server, and if the date and time are not set on 
any handset, then the base station will attempt to reference date and time settings from the CLIP 
information of an incoming call.
