Time on Phone
« on: June 24, 2013, 01:04:02 PM »
Hello,

I have the PBX to use our NTP server and I am receiving the following logs.

set/poller synchronization failed as RTC-NTP server drift is more than 10 seconds.

anyone know how to fix this? The phones at this location have been anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes behind the pc.

Thanks,

Is the controller actually syncing to the time server?
If it's failing then you should see a log indicating that.
What time server are you using?

You may want to review this doc for NTP server options with the Mitel 3300.

Hi Ralph,

The controller is suppose to be synching with the server that's running NTP which is our in house server. The log is below.  Now that in-house server uses it's local time it doens't go out to another NTP server.

I would change time servers... if you are using an internal Domain time server right now, it might actually be off (as your above quote alludes to), I ran into this at a customer site once before and the Mitel was syncing to their Domain Server but that server wasn't syncing to any outside time server. Changing the time server to "us.pool.ntp.org" fixed the issue, if you need a different zone, pool.ntp.org has lots of zones and specific country areas you can choose from to sync to.

If the end result is to get the Mitel and the PCs to have the same time, they all need to use the same source and it has to be within a certain tolerance of the public, global network clocking system.

If you still have problems after syncing to a reliable clock source, this could be a digital trunk issue where the carrier is not synced up to a public network clock and their clocking source is off significantly, this would be very odd and unusual but the theory is solid. Or the 3300's RTC is defective, also very unlikely but a possibility but if you getting this deep I would contact tech support.

Sometimes the system likes the IP as opposed to the name. I use one of these two, which ever works best. Thanks:

time.nist.gov (64.250.177.145) or pool.ntp.org (69.36.227.90)

Try with the IP's

Except remember that the "pool" IP's will change all the time and be a multi-IP record. Most ISP's offer NTP service, usually just time.<isp domainname> and that might work better and be a static IP.
