Parameter Meaning Possible Values Default Setting
PTP version/
mode
Version and mode of the local clock. v1-boundary-
clock
Boundary Clock function based on
IEEE1588-2002 (PTPv1).
v1-boundary-clock
Support for PTPv1 without special
hardware. The device synchronizes
itself with received PTPv1
messages. This mode does not
provide any other functions, such as
PTP management or runtime
measuring.
Select this mode if the device does
not have a timestamp unit
(RT module).
v1-simple-mode
Boundary Clock function based on
IEEE1588-2008 (PTPv2).
The one-step mode determines the
precise PTP time with 1 message.
This mode is available for MM23
and MM33 modules.
v2-boundary-clock-
onestep
Boundary Clock function based on
IEEE1588-2008 (PTPv2).
The two-step mode determines the
precise PTP time with 2 messages.
v2-boundary-clock-
twostep
Transparent Clock (one-step)
function based on IEEE1588-2008
(PTPv2).
This mode is available for MM23
and MM33 modules.
v2-transparent-clock
Support for PTPv2 without special
hardware. The device synchronizes
itself with received PTPv2
messages. This mode does not
provide any other functions, such as
PTP management or runtime
measuring.
Select this mode if the device does
not have a timestamp unit
(RT module).
