The R6's I've worked on have clocks that tend to run fast, so frequent adjustments seem to be the norm.

For installs where caller ID is in use, you would think that the processor would use timestamps to automatically adjust the time of day clock just like consumer telephones do.

Maybe Avaya can add a more reliable clock on future ACS versions.

If there is a power issue causing power fluctuations a UPS may help. Although, the ACS does not keep that great of time in general, so it may not be the issue.
