Set Time and Date

VM Pro/Manager:

The time is normally obtained using Time protocol (RFC868) requests. Note this is different from Network Time Protocol (NTP). The Voicemail Pro server and the Manager program can both act as Time servers, other RFC868 server sources are not supported.

If the IP Office system time is wrong, open Manager, and check:

System ➤ System tab ➤ Time Setting Config Source = VoiceMail Pro/Manager mantad1.png

Note that if you are running Manager when the Voicemail Server starts, Voicemail does not start it's time server daemon. Therefore, always close Manager before you start or restart Voicemail Pro.

Manually:

For IP Office systems without access to a time server, you can manually set the time and date using a System Phone.
Note, the system will still automatically apply daylight saving changes to the manually set time.

Disable automatic time updates, and nominate a System Phone:

  1. Open IP Office Manager on your PC
  2. Select: System ➤ System tab ➤ Time Setting Config Source = None
