Note: Not all fields need to be populated: Only the Server Version, the rest
can remain blank. The new Master will output PTP data via every available
ETH output.
PTP Server Version: Ver.1 or Ver.2
PTP Domain: Determines which domain the PTP server will broadcast on. [Range:
0-255] Default suggested domain for PTP1: 0.
PTP Server Sync Rate: The rate at which to broadcast PTP synchronization mes-
sages (in seconds).
EXAMPLE: “1” will cause SecureSync to broadcast a synchronization mes-
sage every second, whereas “2” will send out messages in 0.5-second inter-
vals. [Range: 0.5-64] Suggested setting: 1
PTP Server TTL: This numeric field determine s how long a PTP packet will live, in
seconds, when routed (“Time-To-Live”) Suggested setting: 1 s
PTP Priority 1 [2]: The value set in these two fields will be broadcast by the PTP
Master with announcement messages [Range: 0-255] Suggested setting: 128
Interface: The name of the interface for PTP data this PTP Master will use.
The interface name must correspond with a Linux network device name.
Depending on the configuration of your unit, you can select any of the
ports listed in this field.
Note: Ensure that the selected interface is enabled: Go to
MANAGEMENT > Network, and click on the GEAR icon next
to the port you want to use. Enable and configure the port in
the Edit Ethernet Port Settings window.
Always Unicast Delay Responses: Check this box if you would like the PTP Master
to provide unicast delay responses, no matter if the client provided a unicast or a
multicast delay request. When the box is unchecked, the server will respond with
the same type of message as the request, that is a multicast response for a mul-
ticast request, and a unicast response for a unicast request. Recommended setting:
Unchecked
