The process of modifying the displayed time on Avaya telephones involves adjusting the system settings that govern the device’s internal clock. This often requires administrative access to the Avaya communication manager or associated server. For example, following a daylight saving time change, administrators must update the system to reflect the current time to ensure accurate call logging and scheduled events.
Correct time synchronization on telecommunications equipment is crucial for maintaining accurate records of calls, voicemails, and system events. Accurate time stamps are essential for billing purposes, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring the smooth operation of time-sensitive features such as call forwarding and scheduled announcements. Historically, manual adjustments were common, but modern systems increasingly rely on network time protocols for automatic synchronization.
