Re: Cisco Call Manager 7.1.3 Incorrect time on Phones

m-laing · ‎04-07-2010

Hi

I have a call manager cluster configured and it is configured to use time via ntp server.

The time that was displayed on the phones during the initial setup of the system was correct however when since last week I have noticed that the time displayed on the phones are incorrect.

The phones are displaying the UTC time instead current time for the timzezone, how do i correct this?

hi M-laing

updating the device pack verifies the call manager.

http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/30424/cmterm-devicepack-7_1_3_32010-1_readme.html

then updated the phone firmware to version 9.

Hi bro,

Did u fix the issue? I have the same problem, it looks like this:

admin:utils ntp status
ntpd (pid 24186) is running...

remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*127.127.1.0 LOCAL(0) 10 l 26 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.004

synchronised to local net at stratum 11
time correct to within 12 ms
polling server every 1024 s

Current time in UTC is : Sat Apr 10 00:37:48 UTC 2010
Current time in America/Monterrey is : Fri Apr 9 19:37:48 CDT 2010

The phones show the UTC time instead of the America/Monterrey time, I had restarted the server but it still shows the wrong time.

Did u install the Device Pack that Edwards L. Fuenmayor talked about?

Regards.

On CUCM 7.1.3, new timezone structure was introduced.

Because of this, the phones need to be on firmware version 9 or above to recongnize the timezone settings.

For backward compatiblity (phones has firmware lower than 9), you may choose the timezone with a star (*) on CUCM 7.1.3

hi brother

that is correct unless you have the firmware version higher than 9 in the phone does not work the time zones that do not have the (*) try to update the version and if it lets you update the firmware as happened to me have to update the comment you pack device.

Allright, I'm gonna select the (*) in the timezone then, I'll do that next monday, I need a quick fix cause I have around 600 Ip Phones and some are in remote locations within my City, I have tons of work and dont have the time to manually reset the phone if some fail (I had that problem when I moved to a newer version, actually this one). Eventually I'll install the Device Pack and tell you if that fixs my problem.

By the way... why Cisco released some changes in the Timezone and the loads of the phones that come with the CCM 7.1.3 don't support it? oohh nevermind... they may have their reasons.

Thanks so much Edward and Michael!!

Regards.

Hi Amit,

Not sure that this bug applies to the orignal poster as this was back in April, however your post has hit the nail right on the head for the problems we are experiencing, so thanks! Not sure if we will apply these fixes or not though as we could just wait 3 working days now, but that won't be my decision.

Thanks again

Gareth.
