DXD8/PTP User Manual (rev 2.15)
Page 11
•REFERENCE SOURCES - PTP Mode
When PTP Mode is selected in the reference menu, the Reference Sources
page indicates the settings and the state of the PTP port in colors for easy
identification as well as the PTP domain to its right. For details on the PTP
states, see Chapter 10, PTP Ports States.
The small blue box to the right of the PTP state indicates the PTP domain
and the PTP version. For example ‘0:v1’ means Domain 0 and PTP v1.
If GPS is available and has been selected in the reference menu as
‘LOCAL REF WHEN GM’, it will appear on the second section in place of
the ALT REF along with its lock status.
When a source other than ‘PTP Mode’ is selected as the reference, the Reference Sources page will no longer give any
information related to the PTP port. The Lock Line at the bottom of the display will indicate if the port is Grandmaster or
not. To view all the information on the PTP port (PTP domain, PTP version, port state…), press the STATUS button and
look at the PTP PORT STATUS page (see 8.2.3 below).
8.2 Status Pages
Status pages are available on the main display while in the STATUS mode. To activate the STATUS mode, press the [
