The fields that can be configured are described below: 
Parameter  Description 
Announce Interval 
(1-16) 
Click the radio button and enter the mean time interval between successive announce 
messages. Referred to as the announce interval. In line with the IEEE1588 protocol, 
the value of the announce interval is represented as the logarithm to the base 2 of this 
time measured in seconds. The entered value should be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16. If entered an 
invalid number, it will be automatically adjusted to allow the bigger and closest value. 
The default value is 2 seconds. 
Announce Receipt 
Timeout (2-10) 
Click the radio button and enter the announce interval number that has to pass without 
receiving an Announce message before the occurrence of the 
ANNOUNCE_RECEIPT_TIMEOUT_EXPIRES event. This value multiplied by the 
announce interval value is equal to the interval time of the announce receipt timeout.
