5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ASYMMETRY
•
This setting corresponds to "delayAsymmetry" in PTP, which is used by the peer delay mechanism to compensate for
any difference in the propagation delay between the two directions of a link. Except in unusual cases, the two fibers are
of essentially identical length and composition, so this setting should be set to zero.
•
In unusual cases where the length of the link is different in different directions, this setting should be set to the number
of nanoseconds the Ethernet propagation delay to the relay is longer than the mean of path propagation delays to and
from the relay. For instance, if it is known say from the physical length of the fibers and the propagation speed in the
fibers that the delay from the relay to the Ethernet switch it is connected to is 9 000 ns and the that the delay from the
switch to the relay is 11 000 ns, then the mean delay is 10 000 ns, and the path delay asymmetry is 11000 - 10000 =
+1000 ns.

PRODUCT SETUP
SNTP PROTOCOL
The D30 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the D30 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The D30 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a ded-
5
icated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. UR series relays support unicast, broadcast, multicast,
and anycast SNTP functionality.
The
setting enables or disabled the SNTP feature on the D30.

values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the D30 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It takes up to two minutes for the D30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the
D30 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the "all ones" broadcast address for the subnet. The D30 waits up to 18 min-
utes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
