This guide makes the assumption that the E-IPA card will be PTP grand-master and is using the E-IPA’s default protocol settings (pictured below)

If using an external GM or custom protocol settings, make sure these differences are reflected in the E-IPA & Artel PTP Clock Configuration section of this guide.
