Time server on Snom M3

[Tom Waterman]

A couple of days ago I deployed 65 phones in my company. All but 2 are snome M3. All of the lines were set and I set a time server in each of the bases as well as upgraded the firmware. Yesterday I came in and tried to work on auto provisioning (big mistake) and all of a sudden as soon as I rebooted a phone it would wipe out the first extension and provision it with a new one from the pbx. Don't even ask me how that happened. I believfe everything is good now but In the base of the M3 I still have the wrong time server. I have cleared it out and saved it a hundred times but each time I reboot the phone this pool.ntp.org is in there and all of the times are incorrect. I have checked our own time server on the network and it is correct. Any help would be great. We need to roll these out tomorrow.

There is a setting called "ntp_host" in the Global Configuration File, which is by default set to "pool.ntp.org". May be you can change this to your time server.

Is this global configurration file on the phone or in the PBX? I have been changeing the file on the phone under the advanced tab is a time server section. If it is on the PBX how do I find it?

This is on the PBX. You can change this value by typing http://<pbx ip address>/reg_status.htm?save=save&ntp_host=<your time server> on the browser.

More on the global settings in in http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Global_Configuration_File

You probably have to reboot the phone after the change.

I have found it and edited it. I'll report back.

No dice. I have found the section edited it and I am still an hour off. My time is 1:02pm and the phones say 2:02pm. I have daylight savings time enabled on the pbx but something is still wrong.

Maybe just take the below file and modify the time section (call it snom_m3.cfg). That should fix your problem for the moment (create and put it into the html directory).

Yeah I tried this as well and it did not work. It keep setting my time zone to -4:30 and I need -5:00 and it messes with Daylight savings time even when I tur it all off. I am at the end of my rope.

Try changing the "13" to "12". Maybe that was the problem.

This was fixed with the new release of pbxnsip.
