Announce 
Timeout
Announce interval timeout for PTP 
topology discovery in number of 
announce intervals.
The standard settings of announce 
interval = 2 (2 per second) and 
announce timeout = 3 lead to a 
timeout of 3 x 2 seconds = 
6 seconds.
Select the same value for all devices 
within a PTP domain.

Runtime 
Measuring 
Mechanism
Mechanism for measuring the 
message runtime.
Enter the same mechanism for the 
PTP device connected to this port.
The device itself does not generate 
any messages in the runtime 
measurement. A connected PTP 
slave measures the runtime of the 
entire transmission path to the 
master.
E2E (End-to-End):
The device itself measures the 
runtime to all the connected PTP 
devices. If a reconfiguration is 
performed, this eliminates the need 
to determine the runtime again.
The MICE media modules MM23 
and MM33 support the P2P 
mechanism.
P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
No runtime determination. Disabled
P2P Runtime

Interval
Interval for peer-to-peer runtime 
measurements at this port. 
Prerequisite:  
You have selected the P2P runtime 
measuring mechanism on the 
device itself and on the connected 
PTP device.
