The ComProbe 802.11 hardware has ProbeSync™ which allows for synchronization of ComProbe hardware
clocks and timestamping. One ComProbe device will act as the master device by providing the clock to the
slave device receiving the clock. Do not confuse "master" and "slave" with Bluetooth
relationships. When using the ComProbe 802.11 with a ComProbe BPA 600 the BPA 600 must always be the master ProbeSync device. Refer to the following
table.
1. Using a CAT 5 Ethernet cable (less than 1.5 meters (4.9 feet)) insert one end to the master ComProbe device OUT jack.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the slave ComProbe device IN jack.
