If you need to sync your configuration on an external clock (AES, MADI, Wordclock,…), you will have to use the peered device connectivity.
We have checked in the code with a developer, and that is the expected behavior when peering device.
When peering, the paradigm is that Anubis sends its sampling rate to the peered satellite devices.
(and it will only send it one time when the Anubis changes its sampling rate, but will not try to set it back if the satellite device SR changes afterwards. This is to avoid the satellite SR going back and forth if 2 Anubis running at different sampling rates peer the same satellite device).
So when peering, it is expected to have the Anubis as the sampling rate master.
The Auto SR feature in the Anubis only works if there is incoming RAVENNA/AES67 stream connected (sink), but not a peering stream (handled differently).
...
In the Anubis Settings > General, disable the PTP Master option.
Notes:
This step is required because only the Master PTP device can be synced on an external clock.
The PTP status may remain on Master, this is not a problem at this step.In the peered device, set it to sync on the external clock.
In our example, a peered Hapi MKII is set to sync on an incoming Wordclock
Go in the IO & Sync page, and select the WCK.
Notes:
The peered device will change to PTP Master, and the Anubis will change to PTP slave, automatically.
If you want the peered device to automatically follow the external clock sampling rate, activate its Auto sampling rate option.
Depending on the clock type, the Auto sampling rate should not be enabled, e.g. if receiving a 48Khz Wordclock and willing to run at 96 Khz.In this kind of setup with external clock, the Anubis sampling rate will not follow automatically.Manually

This is not working, because it’s not the way peering has been designed !!!!
When peering, the Anubis is expected to be the SR master, and it sends its SR to the satellite device (Hapi in this case).
The Anubis is sending its SR to the satellite device 1 time, if the satellite does not follow or change its SR afterwards, it will not send it back.
This is to avoid SR going back and forth on the satellite if 2 Anubis running at different sampling rates are peering the same satellite device.
...
You may change the sampling rate manually on the Anubis Settings > General.
You may also use Aneman, by creating a Sample Rate Zone (New Zone - Sample Rate Zone), dropping the Peered device on the crown (master) icon, and Anubis anywhere in the zone.
Note: if you close Aneman, it will no longer be able to set the sampling rate.(Advanced users) In the Advanced pages, you can create a Source on the Peered device, create a Sink in the Anubis and connect it on the source.
Then activate the Auto Sampling Rate option in the Anubis Settings > General.
Note: In such case, you have to change the sampling rate from the Peered device (or from the external clock if the Peered device is set to automatically follow the clock sampling rate), not on the Anubis.
