DESCRIPTION
IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a packet-based synchronization mechanism used in packet-switched networks. PTP synchronizes the clocks of different devices with the most accurate clock on the
network – usually a precise, grandmaster clock, such as one using a Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) time signal. The 82P33910-1 is a software and hardware system that can operate as a PTP slave or PTP
master. As a PTP slave the 82P33910-1 recovers accurate and stable
electrical synchronization signals from a packet based reference generated by a PTP master. As a PTP master the 82P33910-1 can lock to a stable electrical clock source and generate packet based PTP references for
downstream PTP slaves
The 82P33910-1 is available with several software and hardware options.
The software options are outlined in Table 1 by root part number. The
hardware options depend on the choice of Synchronization Management
Unit (SMU) hardware; the SMU hardware documentation is listed in
Table 3 by root part number
