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
EX2500A 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 State
: indicates whether the EX2500A 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.
