Page 14: Configuration Pages
3.3 Configuration Pages 3.3.1 System Information The System Information configuration page allows the user to edit information fields for the purposes of unit identification. Editable fields include: System Name, System Location, System Contact, and Inventory ID. These fields are displayed on the System Information Status page, and are intended for use in identifying which physical unit is connected when accessed over a network. Figure 5 - System Information Configuration Page 3.3.2 IP Settings The IP Settings page allows the user to adjust the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway address of the PTP-8080, as well as the option to enable DHCP. Brandywine Communications recommends the use of a Static IP address for ease of management purposes. Please note that the PTP-8080 uses two IP addresses, one for the network switch, which is not accessible for the user, and a separate one for the PTP and web server. Both the PTP server and the network switch must be in the same subnet so that both parts of the PTP-8080 can talk to each other.

Page 15: Ptp Settings
3.3.3 PTP Settings The PTP Settings page allows the use to adjust and configure the PTP-8080’s PTP service. More detailed information about each of these settings can be found by using the PTP-8080’s built in help menu. Two step: Setting this to TRUE runs the PTP clock in two step mode. On certain versions of the PTP-8080, this can be disabled to allow it to run in one step mode. Priority 1: This field is used to determine the precedence of the available PTP servers, so that PTP clients can correctly determine a Grandmaster. This can be any value from 0 to 255. Priority 2: This field is used to determine the precedence of the available PTP servers, so that PTP clients can correctly determine a Grandmaster. This can be any value from 0 to 255. Domain Number: Defaults to 0. This determines which PTP domain the PTP-8080 is operating in. For most applications, this is 0. Slave only: When set to TRUE, the unit will only receive time from another PTP source on the network. If this value is set to TRUE, the clock can never take the role of a network grandmaster. Sync interval: Determines the interval period in seconds for how frequently the unit synchronizes with other PTP sources. Announce interval: Determines how frequently in seconds the PTP-8080 announces to the network that it is an available PTP server for clients to connect to. Delay request interval: Determines the interval in seconds between delay request messages going from the PTP slave to the PTP master. Path delay request interval: Determines how frequently in seconds the PTP-8080 polls the network to determine the propagation delay from the PTP-8080 to its peer partners. Delay response logMessageInterval: This is the value inserted into logMessageInterval of a delay response packet going from the master back to the slave. Note that this value is a function of the sync interval since it cannot be slower than 32 times the sync interval or faster than the sync interval. This parameter only has meaning when the PTP-8080 operates as the grandmaster. Disable Ordinary Clock (TC only): When this is set to TRUE, the PTP-8080 will only operate as a TC switch, with no master or slave functionality. Time Source: Determines the time input source for the PTP service to use. This can either be GPS, IRIG, Internal Oscillator or another PTP source on the network. Please note that setting the unit to “External GPS” or switch it to a different source from “External GPS” requires a reboot of the PTP-8080. UTC Offset: Use this field to set the offset from UTC time in seconds. This is only valid if the PTP-8080 is running with the internal oscillator as a valid source. -

Network Protocol: Whether the PTP-8080 connects to the network using IPv4 or IPv6. Currently, only IPv4 and Ethernet layer 2 are supported. On the right hand side of the PTP configuration page, is the option to enable or disable PTP on each of the Ethernet ports. Figure 7 - PTP Settings page. 3.3.4 LLDP Settings The LLDP settings page enables the user to enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol on the PTP-8080, as well as adjust the interval for when it announces itself over the network.

Page 17: I/O Settings
3.3.5 I/O Settings The I/O settings page allows the user to adjust various input and output settings for the PTP-8080. The PTP-8080 is capable of outputting 10MHz from a dedicated BNC connector, a dedicated IRIG-B connector, or 1PPS, IRIG-B (DC Level Shift), or 100Hz over a programmable BNC connector. In addition, the PTP-8080 can support up to four additional programmable outputs via the terminal block connector interface. Figure 9 - I/O Settings Page MANUAL P/N 900000156 REV A... -
Page 18: Rstp Settings
3.3.6 RSTP Settings The RSTP Settings page allows the user to enable or disable RSTP mode for the PTP- 8080, as well as set which version of RSTP to use. The PTP-8080 can use Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol” to quickly map out the network it’s connected to and compensate for any changes in network topology. Brandywine recommends that RSTP mode be enabled. Please note that the PTP-8080 is a network switch and it is recommended that it not be looped back from another network switch or have two of its own ports connected to each other, in order to prevent a traffic storm. Figure 10 - RSTP Settings Page 3.3.7 Port Control Settings The port control settings page enables the user to enable or disable each of the numbered PTP ports on the PTP-8080. In addition, the speed and duplex of each port can be set from the page. Please note that the PTP-8080’s network ports are 10/100/1000BaseT ports and for most use cases they should be set to “Auto Negotiation” for RJ-45 copper use. When SFP is used, the speed must be set to “1000 Full.” If it becomes necessary to force the PTP-8080 to run at a specific speed and duplex setting for other reasons, that can be set from here.
