Synchronizing the System Time of the
Layer 2 Enhanced with Layer 2 Professional
Release 1.0 10/05
7.3 Precison Time Protocol
95
V
Switch on the PTP function on all devices whose time you want to syn-
chronize using PTP.
V
If there is no reference clock available, designate a Switch as reference
clock, and set the system time as precisely as possible.
7.3.3 Configuring PTP
In the
Time:PTP:Global
dialog you enter PTP settings that will apply
to all the ports.
In the
Time:PTP:Port
dialog you enter the PTP settings that will apply
to the ports individually.
U
PTP Global
V
Select the
Time:PTP
dialog.
V
Switch on the function ind the “Operation IEEE 1588 / PTP” frame.
V
If you have designated this Switch to be the PTP reference clock,
click in the “Configuration IEEE 1588 / PTP” frame in the “Prefer-
red Master” line the value “true”.
D
By selecting “Reinitialize” you restart the synchronization of the
local clock.
D
Configuration
PTP Clock Mode
: Mode of the local clock.
Possible options are:
–
PTP Boundary Clock Mode
,
–
PTP Simple Clock Mode
(without runtime correction, without
determining the best clock) Select this mode, if the Switch has no
time stamp unit (RT module).
PTP SyncInterval
: Period for sending synchronization mes-
sages, entry in seconds, acceptance after “Reinitialize”.
