Sect. K.7 Advanced Network Timing (ANT) (Appendix K. ETHERNET NETWORK

CONFIGURATION)

The ANT feature provides IP-based protocols to synchronize the modem's internal time-of-day

clock to an external device such as a time server, Base Station Controller (BSC), or Radio

Network Controller (RNC).

Select the PTP or SNTP tab to continue.

Sect. K.7.3 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) (Appendix K. ETHERNET NETWORK

CONFIGURATION)

All network devices between the Grandmaster and Slave devices must support PTP

for sub-microsecond accuracy.

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a FAST-activated feature used to synchronize computer clocks

throughout a computer network. On LANs, PTP achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond

range – much more accurate than what is attainable by NTP (Network Time Protocol) – and it is

also used in network applications where GPS is either unaffordable or inaccessible.

Feature – Use the drop-down list to set PTP operation as Enabled or Disabled.

If Enabled, PTP is used to establish independent Wireless Receiver/Transmitter (WRT)

protocol segments – one for LAN and the other for WAN. If Disabled, by default the
