Localizing Your SPA9x2 Phone
The following table describes the localization parameters in the Miscellaneous section.
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.
