Hi all,

My MAS (Windows 2000 Server) installed third parity time sync application already.But how to synchronize the time on MSS(Linux) and install the time sync application to MSS?

As far as I know it isn't ready yet to sync the MSS time with a third party application. I know it is something that has been requested that Avaya is working on.
 
Well i found out a way in the MM3.0 course in Lab last week in Miami.
We had to reinstall software from scratch on MAS and MSS and then i login in as TSC (because when you reload your MSS you have to tell what TSC's password will be), at the command prompt i did a "startx" to start the KDE desktop then you can go in the menu driven to modify the date and time and you have a tab to add a external NTS.

Normally on a factory machine you can't access command prompt level because password are factory set by Avaya. But if you reload the machine you have full control over it.

So it is a nice to know.

I did found that on my last Witness installation because we had a Redhat Enterprise server and we had full access to it and i did setup the NTS on it. So that why i tried it in the MM3.0 LAB.
 
That is great until you final register the system and then they change the passwords don't they?

That's about right they will change the TSC but probably not the root.
But if you know linux or unix a bit you can dupe the TSC login and put your own secret password so when Avaya change it you still have access to your system.
