IMPORTANT NOTE:
If installing the PTP option card, additional steps may be desired, depending upon
the NetClock’s Reference Priority Input configuration – refer to the following section.
Reference Priority Input Configuration
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Adding or removing option module cards impacts the Reference Priority Input
configuration of the NetClock in the following manner:
When adding or removing option module cards with configured Input References, any user-defined
Reference Priority Input setup configuration will be reset. It is recommended to avoid this by taking the
following steps:
1. Save your current NetClock configuration.
2. Power down NetClock unit and install option card (outlined below).
3. Power up NetClock unit.
4. Restore the previously backed up NetClock configuration.
If these steps are
not
taken, the NetClock’s Reference Priority table will be reset back to the factory
default state for the NetClock hardware configuration, and the user / operator will need to reconfigure the
Reference Priority Table. For additional information on managing the Reference Priority Table, refer to
the
NetClock 9400 Series Instruction Manual
