To enable or disable PTP:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: PTP Setup .
2.
In the PTP panel, slide the toggle switch to ON or OFF for the desired Ethernet port.
2.11.3 Configuration — General Steps
Ensure that the Ethernet port used for PTP is connected to the network. Navigate to
MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: Network Setup , and verify the STATUS in the Ports panel.
Be sure that valid time and 1PPS references are currently selected: Navigate to
MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Reference Priority , and confirm Reference Priority con-
figuration, and Reference Status . Note that in order to operate properly as a Master
Clock, VelaSync must be synchronized to a non-PTP reference. The built-in GNSS ref-
erence provides all information needed with no user intervention. Should you, however,
be using a different reference, ensure that it transmits the following information.
