
IEEE 1588 Parameters
o
PTP Grandmaster Clock MAC : indicates the MAC address of the device on the
network to which all other IEEE 1588 compliant devices are synchronized.
o
PTP Parent Clock MAC : indicates the MAC address of the device to which the
EX1200A is synchronized. On a LAN that consists of multiple subnets, this indicates the
MAC address of the parent clock on that particular subnet.
o
PTP Version : indicates
the version of the IEEE 1588. A “1” indicates compliance to
Version 1, or IEEE 1588:2002.
o
PTP State : indicates whether the EX1200A is a master, slave, faulty, disabled, passive,
or unlocked.
o
Current PTP Time : indicates the number of seconds since midnight January 1, 1970
UTC (coordinated universal time).
o
Current Local Time : indicates the date and time (in 24-hour format).
o
Grandmaster Traceability to UTC : indicates how the grandmaster is synchronized to
the UTC. The values provide an indicator of how closely synchronized the grandmaster is
to UTC time.
