Asterisk does not push time to the phones. The phones themselves will contact an NTP server to obtain the correct time. > Basically, I can go under the settings of the phone and change the > offset to set the correct hour, but it is still about 4 minutes fast. > So the SPA-962 has an offset option, but to offset it from what?

I am not finding anything conclusive. Best practice is to configure ntpd as both a server and client on your Asterisk server and point your phones to it. That way your phones will have exactly the same time as your Asterisk server. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
