SyncBox/PTP :: PTP/IEEE 1588 Ordinary Clock
Product Description
The GNU/Linux operating system of the SyncBox/PTPv2 SBC (Single Board Computer) has been optimized to ensure a high level of security and reliability.
The configuration of the system can be done by using a standard web browser to access the straightforward html interface. Alternatively a text based and menu driven setup utility can be started from the shell prompt after logging into the unit via Telnet or SSH. The security-related features of the SyncBox satisfy highest demands.
Additionally the whole Syncbox configuration can be done by using encrypted channels (e.g. SSH, HTTPS). Every unused/unneeded protocol can be disabled in order to reduce possible points of attack.
The PTP/IEEE 1588-2008 implementation of the SyncBox is fully compliant to the IEEE 1588 V2 standard and therefore provides PTP management messages as well.
The SyncBox/PTP is equipped with a high precision oscillator "OCXO HQ" (look at oscillator options for details).
