User Guide

If you want to run the PTP monitor in IP endpoint or IP through modes, you will need to
set your local profiles with correct IP addresses, network masks and gateways. For the
specific case of the IP through mode, you will have to configure the local profile of both
Port A and Port B. The details are as follow:
1. From the Home panel, go to CONFIG
The test port settings panel is displayed.
2. Select Port A to enter in the port specific configuration.
3. Configure the local profile (See section 2.3) either by means the DHCP protocol or
by hand.
If your operation mode is IP endpoint, the local profile configuration finishes here. If you
are working in IP through mode, repeat the previous steps for Port B. The configuration
specific for the PTP protocol is detailed in the following steps:
1. From the Home panel, go to TEST,
The test configuration panel is displayed.
2. Go to PTP (IEEE 1588).
3. Configure the equipment to become an passive IEEE 1588 monitor by configuring
PTP test to Monitor.
A label with the text PTP is displayed in the top notification area.
4. Set the transport protocol to either Ethernet or UDP.
Note: If you are operating in Ethernet endpoint mode, the UDP transport protocol
is not allowed.
5. Configure the Domain to the right value for your network. The default value in
most networks is 0.
6. Go to Master identity to select a remote PTP master clock.
7. Configure Source of identity to one of the allowed values: Auto, IPv4 address, and
Host name (UDP transport protocol) or Auto and MAC address (Ethernet transport
protocol).
8. If you have configured Source of identity to IPv4 address, Host name or MAC
address, fill the correct master identify field with the data from your master.
9. Optionally, configure the timing of the different messages associated to PTP from
the Message timing menu.
Once configured, you can use the same measurement procedures described for the
PTP master and slave clock emulation (See section 9.2) to get statistics and counts in
your test environment. The only difference in the results is that in the Passive monitor
mode only a subset of the statistics available for the endpoint emulation are available.
