Actually, I am just wanting the sipXecs server to be the clock source for the entire network. I thought that the phones would clock off of the server, and if the server didn’t receive it’s external clock source, it would just use its own oscillator as the main clock source.
When sipXecs can’t reach it’s external clock sources, it apparently doesn’t pass clock onto the phones. Maybe I’m mistaken and it only passes the clock source onto the phones, and nobody can reach the clock source, since there is not going to be a connection off of this private network. IT appears I can set the server to be an NTP server, and it looks like the NTP.conf file is set to have it be an NTP server as the default. To be honest, I haven’t dug into the server yet to see why its clock is not recognized by the phones. I figured someone had already done this, I was being lazy.

There must be more systems in the closed network then SipX, if on any of them you install or activate an NTP server then SipX can point to that. We have internal NTP servers and I use those for SipX.
