System Date and Time
You can reset the system time or date when necessary; for example, when the system has
returned to its default state or for daylight-savings time. The date and time are shown on all
display phones and on Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) reports, which record call
activity data.
If enabled in DB Programming, the Mitel 5000 CP supports Automatic Daylight Savings Time
(British Summer Time, in Europe). If Network Time Protocol (NTP) is enabled for your system,
the network date and time automatically synchronize daily at 12:30 a.m. with an identified atomic
clock. Contact your system administrator for more information.

Setting the System Date and Time

You can change the date and time for an individual node or for the entire network.
To set the system date and time:

2. Use the dial pad buttons to enter the month, day, and year. For example, enter 020311 for
February 3, 2011. The day of the week is automatically calculated and set by the system

If you do not need to change the date, press # or the ACCEPT menu button to skip to the

3. Use the dial pad buttons to enter the time in hours and minutes. For example, enter 0900
for 9:00. If you entered the time incorrectly, INVALID TIME appears and you are prompted
to enter a new time.
If you do not need to change the time, press # or the ACCEPT menu button twice to exit.

If you press any button other than 1 or 2, INVALID TIME appears, and you are prompted to
