Hello,

I am a PTPSync starter. I‘m ’trying to use PTPSync tool to synchronized two PC ,which one of them is Master and another PC is slaver. the two PC are connected by Ethernet Interface.They have different IP address（for example 192.168.127.8 192.168.127.10）.the PC OS both are windows 10 pro .
I want to know how to setup PTPSync manager (or which parameters should be changed to make master PC sending time to slaver PC) to distinguish two PC time?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am not sure the tool can function in this way. If you have a PTP clock and one of the machines is synching to this clock, it can rebroadcast to the other (if desired), or both machines can sync to the PTP clock source directly.

One machine can’t act as a PTP clock source.

Thanks,

Can specify one Windows 10 computer as a time server( grandmaster), and all other computers in this local network as clients, and coordinate all system time equal to that server?

Not with this tool, no. I was only designed to sync clocks of older Windows versions with PTP. Newer versions of Windows have built-in PTP drivers.

Thanks for your quick reply :100:

I saw -g in the option list, and this option means

-g run as slave only

So if I specify -g, the PTPSync will run as a PTP client, and if don’t specify -g, it will run as a PTP master.

I’m curious what’s the difference, In the previous reply, I wondered if no -g can function as a master and which will serve as a time server.

As I understand it, it will “sync and relay” or “relay only”

maybe experiment is the best way to solve my curious:-)

I’m not clear for “sync and relay” or “relay only” concept, I think you mean switch or some device called bound clock(BC)。

when I ask AI, it reply you are the member of GridProtectionAlliance, your answer must be correct :grinning:

Lol, the AI is correct, I am member of the GridProtectionAlliance. For clarity, the software will sync the local clock with a PTP server and can relay the signal to other servers, or just relay a PTP signal to other servers - those are the only two options…

Hope that helps!
