Network time server

Does the ntp server need to have any reference of the ip address of my avaya servers entered. Does anything need to be done on the NTP server end.

What kind of NTP server are you using to provide time to the Avaya servers?

NTP is a standard protocol, so it doesn't really matter what kind of server it's running on. The ntp server allows ntp clients to get time from it by specifying the clients' IP addresses or an IP address range in the ntp server configuration. On the ntp client, in this case the Avaya server, you need to specify what ntp server it should contact to get the time. This is the part I'd like to learn. I can't find a place in the Avaya web interface to specify an ntp server. Does it exist? How do you set up an Avaya server as an ntp client? Thanks. -G.

On the Web server go in server configuration and set items individually, select the time server and enter the primary server and a secondary if you have it, save and you are done, you do not need to reboot the server for it to take effect.

Well, there's the problem. I go to the Messaging Administration web page and click on Basic Administration, then Date and Time Administration. There is no mention of NTP. Could this be a permission problem, or maybe our version doesn't support NTP? The MAS server says we are running Modular Messaging V3.0 (7.0.540.10). I can't seem to find version info on the Messaging Administration web page. Thanks. -G.

Well there is part of the problem, you are talking voice mail (modular messaging) and this forum is talking PBX. The above item will not work at all. The MAS would get the time the domain controller while the MSS can be set for NTP but it must be done at the unix prompt if I remember correctly.

The MSS can be set in the date/time/NTP area on the web page now.

It's straight forwed enough to do and doesn't require a reboot.
