Systems losing Time

[rlgriffin]

Is there a way to keep these Nortel Switches from losing time? We have performed the SDTA, but are still losing 8 to 10 minutes over 30 days depending on which system we look at

Thanks

Are your systems AC powered and 220VAC/50hertz or 115VAC/60hertz?

there is a prompt "TDTA" in LD 2 Which will print out the current adjustment settings.
You can change this by entering "SDTA X Y"
X = (0 = negative increment or 1 = positive increament)
Y = 0-60 second adjustment in increments of 100 ms.

here's a script i use every time i log in.. if you use scripts just use it as a call proc on one you use pretty often.. this not only works better then stda but it keeps the switch in sync with network time because it takes the stad setting of the pc..

proc myproc   
integer iDay, iMonth, iYear, iMin, iHour, iSec
string sSend
  
   ltimeints $LTIME iYear iMonth iDay iHour iMin iSec
   
   strfmt sSend "STAD %02d %02d %d %02d %02d %02d" iDay iMonth iYear iHour iMin iSec
   set txpace 30
   transmit "****^M"
   waitfor ">"
   
      
   transmit "ld 2^M"
   waitfor "."
   
   transmit "TTAD^M"
   waitfor "."
   transmit sSend
   transmit "^M"
   waitfor "."
   
   mspause 2
   transmit "TTAD^M"
  
   mspause 2
   transmit "****^M"
 
  endproc

the reason clock adjust fails is usually due to one cpu being slow and the other being fast.. time is a product of the cpu so on cpu 0 i wold lose 60 seconds a day, on cpu 1 i would gain 3 minutes.. now i'm perfect all the time.. you can of course schedule this to run or use it as a standalone..
