You can also access the "Settings" panel and the "Statistics" panel for each port (see
below).
The PTP Settings Panel
The Settings Panel provides access to the configuration settings, divided into three tabs,
which are described below. Each tab allows you to Restore defaults.
Note: The Restore Defaults button in each PTP Settings panel will restore
ALL the factory defaults for ALL Ethernet ports.
Settings changed by the user will be maintained when the PTPdaemon is stopped and star-
ted, and between reboots and powercycles.

The PTP Card is able to transmit the PTP packets in three transmission modes:
• Multicast Mode: PTP packets are transmitted to all PTP Clocks by means of Mult-
icast IP addresses dedicated to the PTP protocol (224.0.1.129, 224.0.0.107). PTP packets
received by the PTP Clocks are then filtered from the Domain Number, the Port
130
