When placed in 1588v2/PTP Through Mode, the TX320S makes use of both ports to analyze network 1588v2/PTP traffic exchanged between Master and Slave. The unit can be inserted on the network path in passthrough mode between P1 and P2 or non-intrusively via a network tap.

 

1588v2/PTP Through Mode & PDV Analysis, located in Additional Tests, offers the following features:

• dual port pass-through monitoring of slave and master clock PTP messages

• transparent monitoring with an optical splitter

• bi-directional analysis of 1588 PTP traffic

• bi-directional analysis of Ethernet traffic (PTP and non-PTP)

 

Through Mode monitoring is conducted through Ethernet test ports 10/100/1000BaseT or 100/1000BaseX.
