Configuring Ptp - Hirschmann MS30, Power MICE, MACH 4000, OCTOPUS User Manual

Synchronizing the System Time of the
V Switch on the PTP function on all devices whose time you want to syn-
chronize using PTP.
V If there is no reference clock available, designate a Switch as reference
clock, and set the system time as precisely as possible.

7.3.3 Configuring PTP

In the Time:PTP:Global dialog you enter PTP settings that will apply
to all the ports.
In the Time:PTP:Port dialog you enter the PTP settings that will apply
to the ports individually.

V Select the Time:PTP dialog.
V Switch on the function ind the "Operation IEEE 1588 / PTP" frame.
V If you have designated this Switch to be the PTP reference clock,
click in the "Configuration IEEE 1588 / PTP" frame in the "Prefer-
red Master" line the value "true".

By selecting "Reinitialize" you restart the synchronization of the
local clock.

Configuration
PTP Clock Mode: Mode of the local clock.
Possible options are:
– PTP Boundary Clock Mode,
– PTP Simple Clock Mode (without runtime correction, without
determining the best clock) Select this mode, if the Switch has no
time stamp unit (RT module).
PTP SyncInterval: Period for sending synchronization mes-
sages, entry in seconds, acceptance after "Reinitialize".
