Introduction

The PD-IES008x-DCxx switch is an 8-port outdoor Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch from Microchip. It provides power and data connectivity for eight powered devices and connects them to the network through data uplink ports.

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of several standards specified by IEEE® 802 that are defined by the IEEE TSN task group. These standards define mechanisms for deterministic real-time communication over Ethernet networks. This document explains how to configure the PD-IESxxx in a Time Sensitive Network.

Note: This document follows acronyms as defined in the IEEE Std 1588-2019: "IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems".
