Managing the Time and Date

SPA9x2 phones obtain the current time information in one of three ways:

•NTP Server—You can configure one or two NTP servers on the phone. When the phone first boots up, it tries to contact the first NTP server to get the current time. The phone periodically synchronizes its time with the NTP server. The synchronization period is fixed at 1 hour. In between updates, the phone tracks time with its own internal clock.

•SIP Messages—Each SIP message (request or response) sent to the SPA9x2 phone may contain a Date header with the current time information. If the header is present, the phone uses it to update its current time.
