Instance Specific Considerations
================================
ptp4l
=====
**Default global parameters**
* tx_timestamp_timeout 20
* summary_interval 6
* clock_servo linreg
* network_transport L2
* time_stamping hardware
* delay_mechanism E2E
* boundary_clock_jbod 1
* uds_address /var/run/ptp4l-<instance name>
**Default interface parameters**
NONE
**Required user-supplied parameters**
``domainNumber <number>``
**Other requirements**
An interface with a port must be assigned to the ``ptp4l`` instance in order
for it to start.
.. note::
It is recommended to configure one ``ptp4l`` instance per |PHC|. Some |NIC|
designs have a single |PHC| shared between all the ports on the |NIC|, while
others may have one |PHC| per port. Refer to the |NIC| documentation to
determine if a |NIC| has multiple |PHCs|. Configuring a ``ptp4l`` instance
with multiple interfaces, each with its own |PHC| results in degraded
timing accuracy or other undesirable behaviors. This means that a given
``ptp4l`` instance should only be configured with interfaces that are on the
same |NIC| and share a |PHC|.
phc2sys
=======
**Default global parameters**
``cmdline_opts '-a -r -R 2 -u 600'``
**Default interface parameters**
NONE
**Required user-supplied parameters**
``domainNumber <number>``
This should match with the associated ``ptp4l`` instance.
``uds_address <path>``
This value needs to be the same as the uds_address for the ``ptp4l``
instance that ``phc2sys`` is tracking.
**Other requirements**
The ``cmdline_opts`` are defaulted to support interaction with ``ptp4l``. If
``phc2sys`` is instead being used with ``ts2phc``, this parameter will have to
be updated. See :ref:`ptp-instance-examples-517dce312f56` for more information.
.. note::
The ``cmdline_opts parameter`` overrides all default command line flags for
the service. This means that when setting ``cmdline_opts``, the full list
of desired flags should be set.
ts2phc
======
**Default global parameters**
* ``ts2phc.pulsewidth 100000000``
* ``leapfile /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list``
* ``cmdline_opts '-s nmea'``
**Default interface parameters**
``ts2phc.extts_polarity rising``
**Required user-supplied parameters**
This value is the path to the GNSS serial port that is connected, it will be
named differently on each system.
``ts2phc.nmea_serialport=/dev/gnss0``
**Other requirements**
An interface with a port must be assigned to the ``ts2phc`` instance in order
for time to be synced from GNSS to the |PHC|.
clock
=====
**Default global parameters**
There are no supported global parameters for clock type.
**Default interface parameters**
NONE
**Required user-supplied parameters**
NONE
**Other requirements**
The clock type instance is a special instance used for configuring the |NIC|
control parameters of the Westport Channel or Logan Beach |NIC| clock
interface parameters.
These parameters can be applied to the interface of a clock instance |PTP|
parameters:
* sma1 input/output
* sma2 input/output
* u.fl1 output
* u.fl2 input
* synce_rclka enabled
* synce_rclkb enabled
