5.2.6.2 PTP Grandmaster [1204-32]
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol that can be used to synchronize computers on
an Ethernet network. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) option module supports PTP Ver-
sion 2, as specified in the IEEE 1588-2008 standard (PTP Version 1 is not supported), via
one (1) Ethernet port.
The PTP option module implements a PTP Ordinary Clock that can be configured to run as
a Master Clock only. It transmits PTP packets via the Ethernet port, with information about
the current time and synchronization reference selected by the SecureSync device.
