Time

if we use a network time server and the time on the pc and the phones are off by 2-3 minutes.. how do you force the phone to update as it is behind.

and we are talking about 8700s using cm3.1.

That is already flagged to Y. On our active server, if you do a display system date/time from the web interface the time is off. On the standby server doing the same things shows the time as being correct.

I have this problem every once in a while...I found that interchanging the servers will cause the server that the time gets off, it will bring it back into sync. When I called Avaya about this, they said that the interchange had nothing to do with it, but from my experience, when the time drifts, interchange the servers and it all goes back to working again.

display time in CM

check time with the browser
from linux command line "date" will show the linux server time.

You may want to think about setting up your server to clock off of a ntp server.

from the web interface:
active server: 10:36
backup server: 10:39

both servers are set with IP addresses of our NTS..
