Time sync

[1000M]

Is there any way of syncing the time to the time.gov website? I notice since my upgrade to Succession 4.0 every few weeks I need to change the time on the PBX to match the PC's here? The PC's always are correct...

There is a way that if you can keep track of the time desrepencies, the switch will adjust itself at regular intervals, by you setting up the adjustment parameters. I think it is in Ld 2, I will have to look at a book to give details.

Ok to print the current time of day adjustment, go to ld 2 and enter TDTA
To set the adjustment it is SDTA x y
x= 0 or negative increment or 1 positive increment
y= 0-60 second adjustment in increments of 100ms

This is done during the midnights, so if set correctly you time issue should be resolved by the start of business. Hope that helps.

I personally do not have that major of an issue, but when my time is out of whack, I will call the atomic clock 800 number. It repeats the time over and over again, so I can set my time accordingly.

i use procomm scripts, with scheduler you can add a logi to the script and have it run once a day, i run it once a week during a maint window. i have a list of a few things i do each week, with ld 2 adjusted as close as i can get it, i run about a half a second a week fast.. heres the script

proc main

   
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 "."
   pause 2
   transmit "TTAD^M"
   waitfor "."
   pause 2
   transmit "****^M"
   
   
   
   endproc

after you log in start that script and it will sync to the pc it is running on, to the 100th of a second, and show the amount of the time adjust

Always been a pet peev of mine. I spend a million $ on a switch and it can't keep good time. Even if you only buy the $30K model it should still keep good time. Nortel makes good switches and I have been playing with them since the 70's. Not one of them could hold a candle to a Timex.

Go figure.

Thank goodness they don't make watches I'd always be late.

 

[johnpoole]

if they made watches, techs couldn't afford them and management couldn't set the time

So when I did a TDTA it came back with
tdta 1_100

what exactly is this telling me?

 

[ArchTelecom]

You'd also have to query the time in command line mode. I guess it would still be LD 2.

They don't work well under water either. Been there.
