The information in the
PTP
status page is displayed in four panes.
7.2.2.1
Port pane
The
Port
pane displays information on the current state and configuration of the
OTMC 100
PTP port.
The data listed here correspond to the Port Dataset specified in IEEE 1588-2008, clause 8.2.5.
Port state
Displays the current PTP state of the network port of
OTMC 100
.
Possible states are: Master, passive, listening, disabled, faulty.
See IEEE 1588-2008, clause 9.2.5 for more detailed information.
Master
:
OTMC 100
is the best master clock in the network (according to
the BMCA) and is thus used as time reference (PTP grandmaster clock).
Passive
: Another PTP clock in the network is the best master clock
according to the BMCA (e.g., has a higher priority or provides more
accurate time). Therefore, the other clock is used as time reference in
the network.
Listening
: After initialization
OTMC 100
is listening for messages from
other PTP master clocks in the network before it becomes either master
or passive.
Disabled
: The PTP state machine of
OTMC 100
has been disabled via
the management interface.
Faulty
:
OTMC 100
detected a fault condition. Further details about the
error can be found in the log file.
