More Information
Problem Details
Some of the Kirk-made DECT handsets do support display of date and time information on the idle screen display as well as in the call lists. This feature however is supported from V6 SR1 in the IP1200 only. It is not supported in the IP1500 nor in the IP600.
The feature requires "current" handset firmware too.
Configuration
There is nothing special that has to be done to make this work. Just make sure you have at least V6 SR1 IP1200 firmware and radio code on all of your radios.
Known Problems
Date/Time display can interfere with MSF messaging. While MSF messaging is not supported by innovaphone, many customers use that together with 3rd party messaging applictions.
Problems may occur when a message arrives and the date/time information is refreshed before the user has seen the message as the date/time info will replace the message. Of course, the message is still available in the handsets mail function. However, it may well be that the user simply will not notice that here is a message to look for.
To work around, you need to disable the NTP client on the radio serving the handset. This disables the time/date function. Of course, your log then will show no timesatmps either, unfortunately.
