PTP Configuration
Profile
RT430/434
The PTP section from Web Interface allows the user to configure the parameters for
the PTP protocol.
To enable the PTP in RT430/434, mark the "PTP Enabled" box. If the field "Force
operation as slave" is unmarked, the RT430/434 operates as Grandmaster Clock,
otherwise the unit acts as Ordinary Clock (slave). Note when equipment is operating
as Ordinary, the antenna signal is ignored.
To disable PTP, make sure both boxes, "PTP Enabled" and "Force operation as slave",
are disabled.
Figure 35: Section to configure PTP parameters
When configuring PTP, the first point to be decided is which PTP profile, or which
common parameters, will be used along all PTP devices. The RT430/434 has four
options to be selected as profile:
Power Profile – IEEE C37.238/2011: profile with predetermined characteristics,
where the user cannot change any major parameter from PTP, such as Network
Protocol, Operation mode and Delay mechanism. The characteristics are shown
in next figure. The configurable parameters for Power Profile are:
Domain number;
o
VLAN ID and Priority;
o
Operation as Master or Slave;
o
If non-Power messages (PTP messages that are not in compliance
o
with IEEE C37.238) should be ignored;
Grandmaster ID (identification);
o
Network time inaccuracy, if delays are known from the network
o
architecture used;
If the PTP should send the local time (considering the timezone and
o
DST parameters configured) or UTC time.
