To configure an IEEE 1588 PTP clock on a 7705 SAR

Before you begin

You can only configure the IEEE 1588 PTP clock on a 7705 SAR that is configured as an IEEE 1588 PTP client. See To configure timing synchronization for information about how to configure the NE as a PTP client.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, expand Network→NE.


Right-click on the NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.


Click on the IEEE PTP Clock tab and click Create. The IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Create) form opens.


Configure the required parameters.

If you set the PTP Profile to ITU-T G.8275.1 or ITU-T G.8275.2, the Clock Local Priority parameter is configurable.

You can configure the IEC/IEEE 61850.9.3 and the C37.238-2017 PTP clock only on a 7705 SAR with a CSM clock ID. Master clock is only supported for 7705 SAR devices with integrated GNSS. When you configure a 7705 SAR with the IEC/IEEE 61850.9.3 or the C37.238-2017 profile, the default settings are automatically applied.


Select a clock MDA for the PTP clock.


Select a source interface for the PTP clock.


If you are configuring a 7705 SAR-8 or 7705 SAR-18, you can view the properties of the local clocks, active or standby, in the Local Clock-Active/Standby panel.


If you set the Clock Type parameter to Boundary or Ordinary, Slave, you can view the Parent clock information in the Parent Clock panel.


Click Apply to save your changes.

To turn up PTP ports on the IEEE 1588 PTP clock:

  1. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab, and click Create. The IEEE 1588 PTP clock (Create) form opens.

  2. Select a port and configure the required parameters.

    The Cfg Sync Rate parameter is not supported if the Clock Type parameter was configured as Ordinary, Slave in Step 4 .

    You can only configure the Local Priority and Master Only parameters if the PTP Profile parameter was configured as ITU-T G.8275.1 or ITU-T G.8275.2 in Step 4 .

  3. Save your changes.
