Configuring PTP

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time protocol that can be used to synchronize
computers on an Ethernet network. VersaSync supports PTP Version 2, as spe-
cified in the IEEE 1588-2008 standard, via two (2) Ethernet ports.
VersaSync can be configured as a PTP Master Clock or as a PTP Slave Clock.
Next to PTP specifications, this topic describes the PTP menu items and settings,
and outlines how to set up VersaSync as a PTP Master or Slave.
