5.2.2 Two Cards no Reference Time Synchronization
Description When two DAG cards are used in a single host PC with no reference
clock, the cards are to be synchronized in some way if timestamps
between the two cards are to be compared. For example, if two cards
monitor different directions of a single full-duplex link.
Synchronization between two DAG cards is achieved in two ways. One
card can be a clock master for the second, or one can synchronize to the
host and also act as a master for the second.
Synchronizing
cards
If both cards are to be accurately synchronized, but not so for absolute
time of packet time-stamps being correct, then one card is configured as
the clock master for the other.
Locking cards
together
Although the master card’s clock will drift against UTC, the cards are
locked together.
The cards are locked together by connecting the synchronization
connector ports of both cards with a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cross-over
cable.
Configure one of the cards as the master, the other defaults to being a
slave.
