2. In the Priority 2 field, you can select a value between 0 and 255. The default value is 128. The Priority 2 value
is one of the factors used by the BMCA to determine the grandmaster. The PTP 820’s Boundary Clock node
advertises this value when it is not locked on an external grandmaster.
3. In the Domain Number field, you can select a value between 24 and 43. The default value is 24.
4. In the Local Priority field, you can select a value between 1 and 255. The default value is 128. The Local
Priority value is taken into account when two identical announce messages are received by at least two
different ports. In such a case, the Boundary Clock mechanism selects the slave port based on the best
(lowest) Local Priority.
5. In the Max Step removed field, you can select the maximum number of PTP clocks traversed from the
grandmaster to the slave clock in the local PTP 820 Boundary Clock node. The value range is 1-255. The
default value is 255. If the defined number is exceeded, packets from this grandmaster candidate are
discarded and the grandmaster will not be eligible for use by the Boundary Clock node.

Parameter Definition
Two Step Indicates whether the Boundary Clock node is operating in two-step
mode. In PTP 820, this is always set to
Yes .
Clock Identity Identifies the system clock.
Number of Ports Displays the number of ports on the unit on which Boundary Clock is
enabled. The maximum is 4 per PTP 820 unit.
Clock Class One of the elements of the clock quality, as defined in IEEE-1588.
Clock Accuracy One of the elements of the clock quality, as defined in IEEE-1588.
Offset Scaled Log Variance One of the elements of the clock quality, as defined in IEEE-1588.
Slave Only Indicates whether the Boundary Clock node is operating in slave
mode only. In PTP 820, this is always set to
No .
Priority 1 Always displays 128.
