Configuring PTP Clients
The TimeProvider 5000 Grandmaster provides a way to perform limited
configuration of PTP clients (TimeProvider 500 clients only). This consists of
allowing a user to set the acceptable master clocks for a client via PTP messages
issued from the TP5000.
The TimeProvider 500 PTP client supports a capability to select from one of two
master clocks. Use of this feature is easily enabled by providing target addresses
for two master clocks. When both are configured to non-zero IP addresses, the
TimeProvider 500 will attempt to establish PTP flow with both. If a flow problem
persists, or no flow can established at all with one of the candidate masters, then
the other one will be used as long as it has acceptable PTP flow.
How to Set PTP Client Acceptable Master Clocks
The example is for Port 1 on the active IOC card, with the following additional
parameters:
– Client IP Address:
192.168.1.220
– Acceptable Master 1 IP Address:
192.168.12.23
– Acceptable Master 1 Priority:
5
– Acceptable Master 2 IP Address:
192.168.12.30
– Acceptable Master 2 Priority:
20
