TIMING MASTER SELECTING METHOD IN SYNCHRONOUS ETHERNET SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a method for establishing a synchronization in a synchronous Ethernet system. Devices are classified according to the type of the devices, and a device having a highest class in the synchronous Ethernet system is detected, then it is determined if the device having the highest class is able to serve as the timing master. If so, the device having the highest class is able to serve as the timing master if only one such device is detected; otherwise, the timing master between devices having the highest class is selected through a collision algorithm.
