Configuring TimeKeeper PTP Slaves

TimeKeeper is configured in the SecureSync Web UI, under MANAGEMENT > PTP Setup .
PTP Slaves are used in a network to listen for synchronization packets from PTP Masters, and
send out synchronization requests, as well as follow ups. The timing information from PTP mas-
ters are used by the system as a synchronization source if NTP is an entry in the reference priority
table (it is by default), and no other reference set as a higher priority is available for syn-
chronization. No configuration is required other than setting up PTP Slaves.
To configure a PTP Slave under TimeKeeper, follow the corresponding procedure described below:
Procedure a): ADDING a PTP Slave
Procedure b): EDITING a PTP Slave
Procedure c): DELETING a PTP Slave
Procedure a): ADDING a PTP Slave
To add and configure a new PTP Slave:
1.
Navigate to the PTP Setup screen via the MANAGEMENT > NETWORK > PTP Setup
menu.
2.
In the PTP Slaves panel, click the PLUS icon in the top right corner.
