 Description  « Hide
sipXconfig needs to provide a screen that allows centralized configuration of time settings for the sipX server as well as all peripherals (phones and gateways).

By default the SIPxchange server should be the NTP server for connected peripherals.

A new configuration screen allows changing the following options:
   - NTP server
   - DST settings (start and stop date)
  - Set the time manually

Relates to XPB-633: The installation CD for 3.7/3.8 already installs NTP server on the sipX host and configures HA Slave to use the Master as a time source.

Let's close XCF-684 if we want to track this separately.

We should support setting of the time zone for all the phones in the system. Time zone determines DST settings (start, stop etc.)
In future we will need to support setting time zone per device and per user (per device group and per user group).

Adding UI for setting time zone is actually only useful is we allow for multi-timezone system. If we only support a single timezone (as it is case now) it's actually less confusing if we always assume that the time zone that we configure you phones with is the same as the time zone of the server on which sipXconfig runs.

For that matter I am not sure if adding a new UI for setting timezone (or for setting time) is that useful. It's usually done when you install the system, and there are already tools (command line and UI) that allow changing it.

Looks like setting date/time and TZ is important if you want to package sipx on network appliance. SOHO devices like home routers support that.

The UI should also display the current date/time.
