Configuring PTP

eSeries MMSes use PTP to keep their clocks synced with each other and eSeries amplifiers for the purpose of reliable network audio. In installations where other devices are using the same protocol, it may be necessary to adjust the PTP modes on a given MMS.

By default, MMS runs its PTP engine in leaderfollower mode that should allow other devices to be the master clock. However, we observe that there is still occasionally confusion between devices. Therefore, it is possible to force our PTP engine to follower mode or turn off PTP entirely.

Use the ForcePtpdFollowMode command via a telnet connection to port 23 with one of the following options:

• off

• false

• true

The default state is false where PTP runs in leaderfollower mode. To force to follower mode, use true. To force PTP off, use off.

For example:
