Not Supported Where the device is non redundant the second interface is Not Supported
Not Available The device does not support clock status reporting

Other transient clock states exist, which are not listed above.

Secondary Status : indicates the state of the PTP clock for the secondary network interface of a redu ndant
device.

Preferred Master:
Checking "Preferred Master" raises the priority of the device in the clock master election. If only one
device on the network has this box ticked this ensures that the selected device becomes clock master.
When multiple devices have their Preferred Master box ticked, the master will be elected from within that
group. This is a convenient method of controlling the group of devices from which the master can be
selected.

Enable Sync To External: When checked this will force the device to derive its local clock from the
external word clock source. This will also ensure that this Dante device becomes clock master. It is not
normal practice configure more than one device with an external clock source. In this case, the user is
assumed to have synchronized external word clock sources (e.g. house clock). Where a device does not
support slaving to an external Word Clock the value in this column will be
N/A .
Master Clock
The Dante network clock master, also called the "Grand Master", i s displayed at all times in the center of the
toolbar of the Network View. This is the device that is providing the time sync source for all devices on the
network.
The clock master is chosen automatically through an election process, though there are user configurable
parameters that allow prioritization of some devices in the clock master election. Configuring a device to have an
external word clock source will force that device to become clock master. Checking the preferred master flag will
also raise the priority of a device in the clock master election. This can be done through the Network View:
Clocking Status tab.
Checking clock configuration
Dante Controller can be used to view the Dante clock status of all devices on the network, and to display who is
the Dante clock master. There may also be some occasions where you want to force a Dante device to become the
Dante network clock master. Please refer to the
Dante Controller User Guide and other Dante documentation for
further information.
