To configure IEEEv2 1588 BC and OC PTP clocks

Before you begin

  • To be able to configure PTP clock parameters, you must disable the administrative state of the PTP clock.

  • To be able to configure PTP port parameters, you must disable the administrative state of the PTP port.

  • For UBT-m SA, to be able to configure PTP clock parameters, you must enable the administrative state of the NEC under Shelf→Timing tab

Steps
 
1 

Configure VLAN elements. See To configure microwave backhaul services for more information.

Note: Ensure that the adjacencies are configured manually and the path search option is not used.

2 

On the equipment tree, expand Network→Wavence→Synchronization→IEEE 1588 PTP.

3 

Right-click on the Clock object and choose Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form opens.

4 

Set the Admin State parameter to Disabled.

Note: The parameters in the IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form are not editable when the Admin State parameter is Enabled.

5 

Perform one of the following to configure the clock type. For UBT-m SA nodes, only boundary clocks are supported.

  1. Configure the boundary clock:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Boundary Clock.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. Sixteen ports are listed. UBT-m SA nodes list two ports.

  2. Configure the ordinary clock, slave:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Ordinary Clock, Slave.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. One port is listed.

  3. Configure the ordinary clock, master:

    1. Set the Clock Type parameter to Ordinary Clock, Master.

    2. Click Apply.

    3. Click on the IEEE PTP Port tab. One port is listed.

Note: When you change the clock type parameter, the values that are configured for the respective port parameters are lost and the parameters revert to the default values.

6 

Choose a PTP port and choose Properties. The IEEE 1588 PTP Port (Edit) form opens.

7 

Configure the VLAN ID parameter with the same value as you configured in Step 1.

Note: The VLAN ID that you assign to one port cannot be assigned to any other port.

8 

Configure the remaining parameters, if required.

9 

Save your changes and close the form.

10 

Repeat Step 3 to open the IEEE 1588 PTP Clock (Edit) form.

11 

Set the Admin State parameter to Enabled, save your changes, and close the form.

Result: All the parameters are read-only except Admin State and no further changes can be made to the Clock Type parameter.
