About Date and Time Group Setup
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the menu path to configure date and time groups.
Use Date/Time Groups to define time zones for the various devices that are connected to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each device exists as a member of only one device pool, and each device pool has only one assigned Date/Time Group.
Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically configures a default Date/Time Group that is called CMLocal. CMLocal synchronizes to the active date and time of the operating system on the server where Cisco Unified Communications Manager is installed. After installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can change the settings for CMLocal as desired. Normally, adjust server date/time to the local time zone date and time.
Note |
CMLocal resets to the operating system date and time whenever you restart Cisco Unified Communications Manager or upgrade the Cisco Unified Communications Manager software to a new release. Do not change the name of CMLocal. |
Tip |
For a worldwide distribution of Cisco Unified IP Phones, create one named Date/Time Group for each of the time zones in which you will deploy endpoints. |
