How to Set the Date and Time
You can set date, time, and daylight savings time (DST) parameters. The current date and time is
supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G using Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) and is displayed on the LCD. DST and time-zone settings are also supported.
International time-zone abbreviations are supported and must be in all capital letters.
We recommend that you set date- and time-related parameters in the default file for all phones.
Note
Alternatively, you can set the time-zone parameter manually on the phone or in the phone-specific
configuration files.
