7.3.2 Preparing the PTP Configuration
After the function is activated, the PTP takes over the configuration
automatically. The delivery settings of the device are sufficient for most
applications.
 To get an overview of the time distribution, draw a network plan with all
the devices participating in PTP.
Note: Connect all the connections you need to distribute the PTP information
to connections with an integrated time stamp unit (RT modules).
Devices without a time stamp unit take the information from the PTP and use
it to set their clocks. They are not involved in the protocol.
 Enable the PTP function on all devices whose time you want to
synchronize using PTP.
 Select the PTP version and the PTP mode. Select the same PTP version
for all the devices that you want to synchronize.
