dhcp server and ntp server help required (Debian)
Hi Guru's
I have a few IP phones (SIP) running off a Debian box. All is working fine, except that I can't find out how to set their time zone via. DHCP or NTP. The phones get an address and the time with no problems. It's just this "option 2" thing :confused:. Can anyone help (assuming you understand the above)? cheers |

Oops - sorry.
OK - the full story. I have various SIP hardphones (Aastra, Grandstream etc.) that all have their own internal option for setting the phones time zone (usually set to US). I am in the UK - so I have to change everyone manually (can be a pain with more than 10 phones). However, there is an option to "Override time zone with DHCP option 2". I have Debian, dhcp3-server and ntp (added using apt-get) and the phones all pick up an IP address and set the time with no problems. The troubles is that the time on the phones is correct - if you live in the US. Changing the time zone to UK (again, via the phone itself) puts it in my local time. My question is : How do I add a setting to dhcpd.conf that will set the phones time zone to UK automagically? Thanks. |

You need to add a new option to your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. Something like: Code:
# e.g. time offset offset of -6h (=-21600 seconds) to UTC |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:41 AM. |
