[Asterisk-Users] ntp Server and Zultys 4X4

[Ronald Hartmann]

I have been reading the RFC http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2132.html on
this and I think the issue may be related to the setting of the Time
Offset 

3.4. Time Offset

   The time offset field specifies the offset of the client's subnet in
   seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).  The offset is
   expressed as a two's complement 32-bit integer.  A positive offset
   indicates a location east of the zero meridian and a negative offset
   indicates a location west of the zero meridian.

   The code for the time offset option is 2, and its length is 4 octets.

    Code   Len        Time Offset
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   |  2  |  4  |  n1 |  n2 |  n3 |  n4 |
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

Once I have time to play with this I will check it out...... any
feedback is appreciated.

Ron

For what it's worth, I'm working with Zultys trying to solve this exact
same problem.  So far, they've told me to take an ethernet trace,
because
they claim the DHCP option 42 isn't being sent, but I know this is not
the
case, because the phone knows the time, just not the time zone.  There
is
a setting in the general section of the config file called timezone,
which
defaults to -480 (minutes off of GMT), but this setting only seems to
control the value that you are prompted with when the phone boots.

If I get a solution, I'll let you know.
