Domain
A domain consists of one or more PTP devices communicating with
each other as defined by the protocol. Different PTP domains may
be defined on the same LAN segment. Multiple PTP domains may
co-exist but will not have visibility of each other. Normally only one
will exist and the default domain, identifier 0, will be loaded with
the selected Profile. Note that domain 127 is loaded for the SMPTE
profile.

Clock Options
•
Two step (clock) - provides time information using a combination of an event message and
subsequent general message.
•
One step (clock) – provides time information using a single event message.
Clock Class
When Mentor RG is operating in Master Mode, the class of clock
available is the highest, GrandMaster. When operating in Slave
mode, other devices cannot connect, hence the clock cannot be
reached.
Clock Accuracy
This characterizes a clock for the purpose of the best master clock
(BMC) algorithm. It is represented in hex (as per IEEE-1588). Select
the required clock accuracy from the list.
