2.8.10.2 Enabling/Disabling PTP
To enable or disable PTP:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: PTP Setup.
2.
In the PTP panel, slide the toggle switch to ON or OFF for the desired Ethernet port
(eth1).
2.8.10.3 Configuration — General Steps
Ensure that the Ethernet port used for PTP is connected to the network. Navigate
to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: Network Setup, and verify the STATUS in the
Ports panel.
Be sure that valid time and 1PPS references are currently selected: Navigate to
MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Reference Priority, and confirm Reference Priority
configuration, and Reference Status. Note that in order to operate properly as a
Master Clock, VersaSync must be synchronized to a non-PTP reference. The built-in
GNSS reference provides all information needed with no user intervention. Should
you, however, be using a different reference, ensure that it transmits the following
information.
The proper TAI or UTC time (including the current year).
The current TAI to UTC offset (required even if the reference’s time is in
TAI).
Pending leap second information at least a day in advance.
2.8.11 GPSD Setup
GPSD is a free, open-source package used worldwide to manage GNSS systems and
devices. With GPSD support on a VersaSync, users are able to:
connect to the unit over a network via TCP at the specified port using any GPSD-
compatable software
receive position and timing information from the GNSS receiver in a consistent
format, and
use the WebUI (or CLI) to configure the GPSD service and view status information.
GPSD can only be configured to track the VersaSync internal u-blox receiver (GDPS does
not currently apply to the internal IMU or gyro for navigation purposes)..
To configure GPSD on the WebUI, navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK > GPSD
Setup to access the GSPD Setup Screen
