Is there a setting for the voice mail to look for the network clock? Mine keeps drifting, but is connected to the LAN.

Try this

Do the following to set the time and date
Run the application PuTTy.exe and login to the LX Litemail.
4. Access the Maintenance Menu and stop the voicemail.
5. When the mail stops exit to the “shared command prompt”
6. Check the clock Do not enter th e “” on the commands
Type “date” then enter. Date will look like this
Wed Jul 9 21:08:48 UTC 2008
Adjust the clock
Type in “date 062009462008 ”MMDDhhmmYYYY
Type in “hwclock --systohc”this sets the hardware
clock to the same time as th e software clock
Type “rm /etc/adjtime ”this removes the adjtime file
To start the mail from the command prompt type “ shutdown –r now”
This will reboot the voicemail
Notes: Set date time command line, type: date 110814382006
( equals Nov 8, 14:38, 2006. )
At the command prompt, type the following syntax to match the
hardware clock to the system clock: hwclock --systohc
(hwclock space negative negative systohc)
A better and more accurate way of keeping the time and date
accurate to put the L X mail on the customers LAN so that it can
access a external time server.
To do this you will have to enter a local IP address, subnet and
gateway in the network setup of the LX mail..
