Configuring Ptp - Hirschmann RS20 User Manual

Synchronizing the system time in the
Enable the PTP function on all devices whose time you want to synchro-
nize using PTP.
If no reference clock is available, you specify a device as the reference
clock and set its system time as accurately as possible.

8.3.3 Configuring PTP

In the Time:PTP:Global dialog, you can enable/disable the function
and make PTP settings on the MS20/30 and Power MICE devices
which are to apply to all ports.
PTP Global
Select the Time:PTP:Global dialog.
Activate the function in the "Operation IEEE 1588 / PTP" frame.
If you have selected this device as the PTP reference clock, se-
lect the value "true" in the "Preferred Master" line of the "Config-
uration IEEE 1588 / PTP" frame.
With "Reinitialize" you trigger the synchronization of the local clock.
Configuration
Clock Mode: Mode of the local clock.
The options are:
– ptp-mode-boundary-clock
– ptp-mode-simple-ptp (without delay correction or specification of
best clock). Select this mode if the device does not have a times-
tamp unit (RT module).
Preferred Master: Define the local clock as the preferred mas-
ter.
