Summary - Digital Instruments SYNC-SWITCH User Manual

SYNC-SWITCH - MANUAL
This manual provides to the user of the apparatus SYNC-SWITCH all the information necessary for proper operation.
The information include the normal installation procedures and any data on the maintenance and programming in order
to facilitate interventions in the field.
SYNC-SWITCH is an IEEE 1588-2008 compliant 10-port Gigabit switch capable of acting as a Transparent
Clock and, with aid of the Synchronous Ethernet protocol, to achieve synchronization in the nanosecond range.
SYNC-SWITCH is equipped with the latest technology and may be operated via a comfortable web interface.
It may be used as an industrial Ethernet switch for rough environments requiring carrier grade switching.
The job of a Transparent Clock (also referred to as TC) switch is very simple to understand.
It just modifies PTP messages as they pass through the device. Timestamps in the messages are corrected for time spent
traversing the network equipment. This approach improves distribution accuracy by compensating for delivery
variability across the network (called Packet Delay Variation - PDV). The device does not alter any other message other
than Sync and Delay_Req packets and is completely transparent both to the PTP Master and to the PTP slaves.
SYNC-SWITCH is in metallic box of size 1U 19''for rack installation.
