Thanks for the tips. I do control by group (POLY501) so it's weird that some phones pick it up correctly, and others (in the same group) don't.
I disabled dhcp on sipx since I have another dhcp already that is setting the NTP server. I need to check to see if I disabled ntp on sipx. Any thoughts?

If sipx was installed by iso, it has an ntp server and dhcp server. The phones will get that information pushed to them by dhcp. There is a "refresh" setting, how long the phone waits before rechecking and syncing time. I normally change the setting in sipxconfig to no more than 6 hours, as a preference I don't want the phones to show the wrong time twice a year when we roll clocks back and forth for DST if the refresh time is set too long. Pick a phone and traipse through sipxconfig. It should also be in the "wiki". ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ ----- Original Message ----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org> To: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org> Sent: Fri Apr 23 19:39:39 2010 Subject: [sipx-users] Ploycom Phones - Time/Date is 12/31 4:00pm Hi all: I have a problem with some polycom phones not picking up the correct date/time. I have a set of polycom 501s with half displaying the correct time and date, and half not showing the correct date/time (but with flashing 12/31 4:00pm instead). The phones have been reformatted so that means the configurations are similar. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
