3.2.3 PTP Version 2 (BC) (MS20/MS30, 
PowerMICE, MACH 104, MACH 1040)
PTP version 2 provides considerably more settings. These support  
- faster reconfiguration of the PTP network than in PTP version 1 
- greater precision in some environments.
You select the PTP version you will use in the Time:PTP:Global dialog.
 Global
Parameter Meaning Possible Values Default Setting
Priority 1 The clock with the lowest priority 1 
becomes the reference clock 
(grandmaster).
0-255 128
Priority 2 If all the relevant values for selecting 
the reference clock are the same for 
multiple devices, the clock with the 
lowest priority 2 is selected as the 
reference clock (grandmaster).
0-255 128
Domain number Assignment of the clock to a PTPv2 
domain. Only clocks with the same 
domain are synchronized.
0-255 0

Parameter Meaning Possible Values Default Setting
Two Step Displays the clock mode of the 
device
No
v2-boundary-clock-onestep No
v2-boundary-clock-twostep Yes
Number of BCs 
to grandmaster
Number of boundary clocks 
between PTP reference clock and 
this device
Offset to Master 
[ns]
Deviation of the local clock from the 
reference clock in nanoseconds.
Runtime to 
Master [ns]
Single signal runtime between the 
local device and the reference clock 
in nanoseconds. The display 
depends on the port setting 
“Runtime measuring mechanism”.
