VoIP gateway IP400 version 5.01

Your gateway also operates at the same time as an NTP server. If you are oper-
ating additional IP 400 gateways or IP 200 telephones, you can synchronise one
of them with a time server (external if required) and then in turn synchronise the
other ones with it.
Further public time services can be found worldwide on the Internet under

.
If you are operating other devices in your network that require a time server (for
example further gateways or IP telephones), please enter the IP address of your
IP 400 there. Your gateway will then operate as the time service and signal the
correct time to the other devices. Avoid synchronising all devices with one external
time service, since this results in unnecessary high loads on these servers.
Tip
Bear in mind that every Windows 2000 server can work as an SNTP server.
Equally, there are freely available SNTP software packages for Windows and
Unix/Linux platforms.
Tip
IP 200 telephones automatically use their gatekeeper as an SNTP Server, as
long as no other has been configured.
