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


1	On the equipment tree, expand Network→NE.
2	Right-click on the NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.
3	Click on the IEEE PTP Clock tab and click Create. The IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Create) form opens.
4	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.
5	Select a clock MDA for the PTP clock.
6	Select a source interface for the PTP clock.
7	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.
8	If you set the Clock Type parameter to Boundary or Ordinary, Slave, you can view the Parent clock information in the Parent Clock panel.
9	Click Apply to save your changes.
10	To turn up PTP ports on the IEEE 1588 PTP clock: Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab, and click Create. The IEEE 1588 PTP clock (Create) form opens. 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 . Save your changes.
11	Save your changes and close the forms. End of steps
