Has anyone experienced this:

Aastra 9133i's & 1 57i
Trixbox server time is correct with time and time zone
All aastra phones (including the 57i) are 1 hour ahead.
Installed the aastra pack and the phones auto register fine with server
Time server is set and pointed to the trixbox

How does one resolve this issue?
Thanks!
Tom

Is ntpd running/installed on

Is ntpd running/installed on the asterisk box?

Type "service ntpd status" and tell me what it says.

does your aastra.cfg look

does your aastra.cfg look anything like this:

time server disabled: 0
time server1: 192.168.0.5

time zone name: US-Pacific
time zone code: PST
time format: 0 # 0=12 hr, 1=24 hr
date format: 0 # 5=dd;mm;yy

maybe your timezone is off??

Do you configure your aastra

Do you configure your aastra phones with a config server or with the web?

I know if you use the cfg files you need to put in a time zone, mine are:

time zone name: US-Central
time zone code: CST

But I don't know where those options are in the web interface, or even if they exist. If the phones are exactly an hour off, the time zone configuration is a likely culprit.

Mine does not work

Hi,

I have the exact setup on my aastra.cfg file but mine does not update the time at all, every time I reboot the phones they come start up with JAN1 12:00AM

Here is my settings:
time zone name: CA-Eastern
time zone code: EST
time format: 0
date format: 7
dst config: 0
time server disabled: 0 # Time Server Not Disabled:

# 0 = false, means the time server is not disabled.
# 1 = true, means the time server is disabled.

# Enable time server and enter at least one time server IP address or
#qualified domain name.

time server1: 192.168.x.x

I also have ntpd running on the trixbox:
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# service ntpd status
ntpd (pid 2181) is running...

I'm in Toronto

Hi alabibomba,

I'm in Toronto and CA-Eastern is for Canada Eastern and I got that from Aastra's administration manual. It would be odd if that is the cause since, Aastra headoffice being near Toronto.

Let me try that out and if that is the case.

Kim

Re: I'm in Toronto

Hi Kim,

Sorry my bad. I thought that you had meant California instead of Canada (please do not laugh), so it looked wrong to me.

You may want to open a browser and point to the IP address of the phone. Go to Advanced Settings->Troubleshooting and click on the 'Save As' buttons next to 'Get local.cfg' and 'Get server.cfg'.

Server.cfg should be the same as the aastra.cfg downloaded from the TFTP Server, and local.cfg represents the setting made locally on the phone itself thru buttons. There may be a conflict with the info on those two files.

Please post the content of those two files.

Hope it helps,

Javier

Solved the problem

I'll be damned. The 9133i do not like the 'time zone name'
I just commented that section out and voila, I got perfect time showing up after reboot.
Here is the section of my config file:

# ==========================
# Time & Time Server Settings
# ==========================

#time zone name: CA-Eastern
time zone code: EST
time format: 0
date format: 7
#dst config: 0
time server disabled: 0 # Time Server Not Disabled:

# 0 = false, means the time server is not disabled.
# 1 = true, means the time server is disabled.

# Enable time server and enter at least one time server IP address or
#qualified domain name.

time server1: 192.168.1.35 <----- IP address of my trixbox

Hope this helps others.

Date & time problem with Aastra 9133i phones

Like you guys I am having this problem. One exception, I do not even know where this config file is.

I have root access to server and have been managing/learning Asterisk using the GUI. So far so good but personnel is asking more of me.

Where do I find this config file(s)?

Thanks!

Aastra Config Files

The examples configurations are available from the Aastra Admin user manual, I've just cut and pasted in a notepat/textpad and named it aastra.conf for all aastra phones on the network and .conf for each individual phone.

aastra why isnt the timezone set when you use end point manager?

I would have thought that by default the epm would set the timezone on my aastra phones to the same as the trixbox server especially as it sets the time server to the address of the trixbox server. I guess you would need the option to change it in-case you had phones in different timezones to the server.
