Skyline PTP
The Skyline PTP connector is used as an application in the DataMiner PTP Solution to monitor the different PTP devices in a network.
A Visio file is provided along with this connector and provides full access to all functionality of the PTP Solution.

Configuration
Connections
Virtual connection
This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.
Note that this element should not be created manually, but should instead be created using the PTP_SetupWizard automation script. For more information, refer to the Initialization section below.
Initialization
The configuration of the Skyline PTP application and the full DataMiner PTP Solution must be done using the PTP_SetupWizard and PTP_SetupWizard_Roles automation scripts.
The PTP_SetupWizard script must be executed initially to configure the DataMiner PTP Solution. This script will:
- Create the Top view for the PTP Solution items.
- Create the Skyline PTP element.
- Execute the initial configuration of the Skyline PTP element.
- Execute the PTP_SetupWizard_Roles automation script.
The PTP_SetupWizard_Roles script is used to configure the PTP devices and update this in the Skyline PTP element. This script is executed from the PTP_SetupWizard script once the initial configuration is done. However, it can also be manually executed later to update the PTP devices managed by the Skyline PTP application. The PTP_SetupWizard_Roles script will:
- Configure the PTP devices in the Skyline PTP application with their respective roles.
- Update the PTP Role element property on each PTP device added to the PTP Solution.
- Create a PTP information template for each protocol that has at least 1 element added as PTP device in the Solution.
When both of these scripts have been executed, the PTP Solution should be fully configured and the Skyline PTP element will start monitoring the PTP topology.
Redundancy
There is no redundancy defined.
