Product Information

The PTP Field Upgrade Kit is designed for use with CyTime SER-3200 / SER-2408 products. This upgrade kit enables the Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) feature on the devices, allowing them to synchronize their clocks with other PTP- enabled devices over Ethernet. The upgrade process involves updating the device firmware to the latest version, entering a PTP license key, and configuring the desired PTP time settings.

The CyTime SER-3200 and SER-2408 are timing devices that provide accurate and reliable time synchronization for power systems and other critical infrastructure. These devices use advanced timing technologies to ensure precise timing signals, even in harsh environments.

Product Usage Instructions

Check the current firmware version on your device. The latest firmware version required for the PTP upgrade is v2.11 or later. If your device firmware is not up-to-date, download the latest firmware, instructions, and release notes from www.cyber-sciences.com/downloads.
Enter the PTP license key via the Setup-Admin web page:
Log in to the Setup-Administration web page using your username and password.
Enter the PTP license key from your certificate.
Click the Activate button. A green check mark will appear to confirm a valid key.
Confirm the upgrade and select the desired PTP time settings via the Setup-Time web page:
Set the Time Source to PTP (if PTP slave: time-sync over Ethernet from PTP master).
Set the Time-sync Output to PTP (if PTP master, to sync all other SERs over Ethernet).
Set the PTP domain number to match all other SERs (default = 0).
