I purchased this Octoclock-G nearly 1.5 yrs back. At that time ethernet
support was not there. Now it seems to be there. What is required to do the
same.

Googling resulted in this ->
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_octoclock.html

So in order to get Octoclock-G connected to my network I have to follow the
link above ?

Also isn't Octoclock-G plug and ply device. I mean even without networking
it will work right ?

Hi Sumit,

The Octoclock-G ships with a firmware image that only supports the clock
distribution without Ethernet support.  It is plug and play for clock
distribution.  The Ethernet support provides access to the NMEA strings
from the GPSDO.  To get Ethernet support, the new firmware must be loaded.
As you found, the instructions to load the firmware are at
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_octoclock.html.  The firmware image for
the latest UHD release (3.9.1) includes Ethernet support.

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply. I think I will continue with non-ethernet version.
My application doesn't need NMEA thing as of now. Also I am a bit skeptical
to touch the firmware for the time being :D
