Field Description
Time Sync Enable Check to enable time synchronization on the device.
Only the ports on the base switch module are capable of time synchronization. The switch expansion modules do not support
time synchronization. However, time synchronization is interdependent with the Enable Expansion Port Forwarding of Time
Synchronization setting. Expansion ports are put in Forward mode when Time Synchronization is disabled on base ports.
Clear the checkbox to disable the time synchronization on the device. The Enable Time Synchronization and Port State
features appear dimmed when the Enable Time Synchronization checkbox is cleared.
Time Sync State Displays one of these states:
• Initializing—The port is initializing.
• Faulty—A fault is present.
• Disabled—The port is disabled.
• Listening—The port is in a listening state.
• Pre_Master—The port is in the pre-master state.
• Master—The port is the system master.
• Passive—The port is receiving data.
• Uncalibrated—The port is uncalibrated.
• Slave—The port is a slave in the system.
Enable Expansion Port Forwarding of Time
Synchronization Data This checkbox appears only when the switch is online. When enabled, the expansion ports are put into Forward mode. In
Forward mode, the expansion module port forwards time synchronization messages.
If disabled, the expansion module port drops time sync messages.
Port Displays the port selected for configuration. The port number includes the port type (Fa for Fast Ethernet and Gi for Gigabit
Ethernet), the base or expansion module number (1, 2, or 3), and the specific port number:
• Gi1/1 is Gigabit Ethernet port 1 on the base
• Fa1/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the base
• Fa2/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the first expansion module
• Fa3/1 is Fast Ethernet port 1 on the second expansion module
Port Enable Check to enable the configuration of the port on the device.
Clear the checkbox to disable the port configuration on the device.
The Port Enable feature appears dimmed when the Enable Time Synchronization checkbox is cleared.
Port State Displays the current state of the time synchronization port on the device. The Port State is blank and dimmed when the
Enable Time Synchronization checkbox is cleared:
• Initializing
• Faulty
• Disabled
• Listening
• Pre-Master
• Master
• Uncalibrated
• Slave
