Configuring PTP
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time protocol that can be used to synchronize com-
puters on an Ethernet network. VelaSync supports PTP Version 1 and 2, as specified in
the IEEE 1588-2002 and IEEE 1588-2008 standard, via four (4) Ethernet ports.
VelaSync currently can be configured as a PTP Master Clock only.
Next to PTP specifications, this topic describes the PTP menu items and settings, and
