Setting the system time from a phone

[dgilson]

What has to be set up to allow a telephone, specifically a 1408 digital, to set the system time? Also, is there a default password for the built-in modem?

 

[GhostZman]

you need manager to set the time, and you usually set it to get its time from the network. Unless you are running Partner mode?

 

[tlpeter]

You need to give the user an admin 2 right.

And a button.

Self-Administer > 1 (Action Data)

My apologies for the incorrect answer. I was not aware you could do this through the phone. My question then becomes, WHY?

Some IPO's aren't on a network, therefore need a way to manage time. As in literally not on a network, no connection to a PC with manager, or anything. No NTP, no RC868 requests from Manager.

So you give a user sytem phone rights (level 1) and they can change the date/time from the menu of a 14xx/16xx. Features/phone user/system admin/time or date... FWIW * = : when setting the time.

Thanks for the heads up. While I can't imagine not putting it on the network, it makes sense that there are some. Can you do the same with button programming? or do you still need manager?

 

[tlpeter]

When you set the Manager PC as time server then a reboot will let the IPO pull the time or if you leave it then once in the hour.
But with a phone can be easier for the users.
I believe this was a new option in 4.2 but i could be wrong one or two versions

Not on the network does happen. Some state/federal agencies have extremely strict security measures that require such technologies to be isolated to the fullest extent!

Thanks for all of the responses. This system is not on a network and it's just lost some time. The trick is setting a phone with the proper rights.
