The GB PTP Status window contains two tabs: Main and Advanced.
Main tab: Status information
Ethernet Status: Whether the module is connected to a network through Ethernet.
Green=Connected. The speed of the connection is indicated.
Orange=Not connected.
Port State: Reports the current state of the PTP State Machine:
Disabled: PTP Ethernet port is Disabled. See PTP Setup/Network page, PTP Net
work Settings options.
Initializing: Ethernet link is unplugged/PTP Module is in power-up state. A Master
Clock doesn’t leave this state while it can’t get the current time and syn
chronization references from the NetClock to synchronize with it.
Listening: PTP module is looking for a Master Clock.
Master: PTP Master has become the active Master Clock on the network.
Passive: PTP Module has become a Passive Master Clock. (There is another
Master Clock on the network with better quality or higher priority). This Master
will wait until the Best Master Clock Algorithm determines it should become the
best Master Clock, and then it will transition to the Master Clock state.
Uncalibrated: PTP Slave has selected a Master Clock on the network attempts to
synchronize with it using sync packets.
Number of Unicast Slaves: Number of PTP Slaves that have been granted by the PTP
Master to run in unicast mode (maximum = 4000 unicast contracts)
Profile: Whether the profile is the default or Telecom.
Domain Number: The current PTP Domain Number.
Clock Mode: See "Main tab settings" on page368.
Current IP Address: The IP address currently being used by the PTP interface.
MAC Address: The MAC address currently being used by the PTP interface.
