CLI PTP parameters

In the PTP configuration all parameters related to the PTP protocol can be

monitored and changed.

The “Profile” parameter is for future releases to change the specific behavior of the

PTP protocol. The delay mechanism is designed to measure the propagation time
between two nodes. You can choose the end-to-end (default: 0) or the peer-to-peer
mechanism ( = 1).

The parameters for Clock Class will define the value for the PTP clock class in the

different states of the internal clock. In case of the SyncBox as a PTP slave these
parameters will not take account.

The delay request interval, the sync interval, the priorities, the timescale and the

announce interval will be specified by the PTP grandmaster only.

A domain is a logical grouping of clocks that synchronize to each other using the

protocol, but that are not necessarily synchronized to clocks in another domain. Be
aware to use the same domain like the grandmaster.

The PTP standard includes mappings to User Datagram Protocol (UDP), layer-2

Ethernet and other implementations. The SyncBoxV2 will support UDP (default:0 or
1) and the layer-2 Ethernet ( = 2).

More configuration parameters to set up the outputs of the SyncBox can be edit

manually via SSH or Terminal in the file “/config/tsu_config”.
