The PTP synchronization process “oscillates” due to a certain control strategy. To align
PTP synchronization and Master/Sync synchronization the amount of oscillation in
thisPTPsynchronizationprocessneedstobesucientlylarge.Infact,thisrequired
oscillation range exceeds the tightest PTP tolerance of 150 ns. Therefore, once a main-
frameissettobeaMSMaster,thePTPtolerancewillbexedto1000ns*.
Fig. 14.11 Fixed PTP tolerance
A Sync source: PTP (or GPS OTMC 100)
B Master/Sync mode: Master
C PTPTolerance:xed1000ns
* When selecting IRIG GMR1000 as Sync source, this will always x the PTP tolerance to
2000ns, independent of stand-alone or being MS Master, due to the nature of the IRIG
synchronization signal jitter.
