Daylight Savings 2

[Russell101]

Hi all, hopefully just a quick one this time! I was just wondering if anybody else had problems with their IP Offices not automatically changing their clocks? The customer is running an IP500 with embedded voicemail and I don't think they have a time server set up that the IPO could get the time from. Would altering the time offset in the System tab sort this out if I changed it to -1:00?

For those who don't like to run the manager or don't have a VMPro running, use the link below. This is a time server running rfc868 port 123. The IPOffice <6.0 won't sync on a NTP server. It's very small and won't take you 1hour to download.

Thanks Bas, althrough the file is not available...

If it was not so serious, it could be very funy. Every 6 month some people tell some public NTP servers for IPO time.

Just for those who still dont know it:
There is an very old protocall called TIME, its RFP 868. Almost no public server support it. And to make it worse, IPO implementation is wrong.
Most device use NTP or SNTP. Every public 'Timeserver' supports it.

Now that we can use NTP in the upcomming 6.1, some other tell what may be the best IP-address for public NTP servers.
All you really need is a DNS-server entry. Then you can simply use 'pool.ntp.org' as NTP server. Never worry again if your favourite NTP server changes the IP or goes offline. If you like, prefix your country. I use 'ch.pool.ntp.org'.

Westi...

System Phone rights has moved to User / User, 8th line down. Setting the User as system phone rights level 1 gives them the ability to change time/date etc on a 1408/16 phone.

Once system phone rights are set, on the 1400 itself you go:

Features->Phone User->System Admin->(enter security code, same as login, if enabled)->then select time, date, set time offset etc.

Time offset is annoying to me, I only show customers how to set the time/date... and FWIW * = : for entering time.

thanks greybeard
I was looking at the system phone option last week on an install (around midnight) I thought of putting this button on in expectation of the time change and the help file is wrong on Manager which is worse than not finding it at all in the help.
I knew it had changed in the back of my head but haven't had the need to use it and so forgot where it was exactly.
Let me be the first one to say thank you to you with a star and welcome to the Tek-Tips family.
