Howto:Setting time and date without using an NTP
Applies To
This information applies to
- All gateways, V6
Problem Details
Sometimes it is temporarely impossible to access a NTP-server. Here' s a short possibility to set time and date via the web interface.
System Requirements
In the simpliest manner a working PBX - or any other accessible Innovaphone gateway running under V6
Configuration
Simply use the following syntax in your webbrowser:
http://<ip-of-your-Innovaphone-gateway>/!time%20%20dd.mm.yyyy-hh:mm
Example: http://10.10.10.120/!time%20%2021.02.2008-15:05
If you don't care about the correct time but just need the box to have a valid time, you can add the ctime argument to NTP0 in your config file, e.g.: config add NTP0 /ctime 21.02.2008-15:05
. This way, your box will always start with this (probably wrong but valid) time.
Known Problems
TLS certificates "not before" date
All certificates have a date "not before" so if you chose a date before the "not before" date, your certificate is not valid and cannot be used for example for "TLS only" device registration.
So you should choose a date "after" the most recent certificate date of device you in your system.
