This view provides a convenient way of quickly scanning the network for clock information. The view is in

table format, with the following fields for each device, in columns from the left, as follows:

n Device Name: the label currently associated with the device.

n Primary Interface Clock Status: indicates the state of the PTP clock for the primary network

interface. Clock Status values and their meanings are as follows:

Master Device is the current PTP Master Clock on the primary

Dante network

Slave Device is a PTP Slave on the primary Dante network

Passive Device is not using clock synchronization information from

this interface

shown as Master +4.1667%. See Clock Domains for more information.

Note: Other transient clock states exist, which are not listed above.

n Secondary Interface Clock Status: indicates the state of the PTP clock for the secondary network

interface of a redundant device. The pull-up/down setting for the device is also shown.

n Clock Role: shows the capabilities of the device, and allows the user to select 'Preferred Master'
