Feature Description

Benefit

Packet protector

Redundant packets are created and transmitted to the IP network and then processed

by the receiving CTP Series.

Circuit quality and reliability are increased when IP connections experience

significant packet loss caused by bit errors.

Autobaud

The input timing leads are monitored, and the circuit rate is automatically changed at

both ends of the network if a rate change is detected.

Flexible rate agility enables immediate and automatic provisioning changes.

Loops and BERTs

Each CTP Series port supports interface and network loops and the ability to generate

and monitor a bit error rate test with up to nine BERT patterns selectable.

Support for standard circuit troubleshooting tools that are built into the CTP

Series help to quickly isolate network, circuit or cable problems.

Layer 2 Serial-to-

Ethernet IP

aggregation

The CTP Series Circuit to Packet Platforms can aggregate layer 2 traffic from serial

interfaces onto a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interface. Layer 2 protocols

supported are Frame Relay, PPP and Cisco-HDLC. Each CTP Series port is connected

to a different VLAN.

The ability to aggregate layer 2 traffic on the CTP Series from multiple serial

interfaces reduces the router interfaces needed for low-speed IP aggregation.

Port mirroring

The CTP Series is able to port-mirror any transmit or any receive up to 10 local or

remote destinations.

Port mirroring minimizes the bandwidth required to send the same traffic to

multiple sites across the network. It enables easy monitoring for

troubleshooting circuit problems. Port mirroring enables the replication of data

to multiple local or geographically dispersed locations.

Analog voice—

4WE&M

The CTP Series supports analog 4WE&M type I, II,and V interfaces with software

selectable transmit and receive-level adjustments per interface.

The ability to support analog 4WE&M interfaces allows the CTP Series Circuit

to Packet Platforms to offer another PBX trunking option. The 4WE&M

interface can also be used for radio interfaces with push-to-talk requirements.

Analog voice—2WFXS The CTP Series supports analog 2WFXS loop start, ground start, and PLAR modes

with software selectable transmit and receive-level adjustments per interface.

The ability to support analog 2WFXS interfaces allows the CTP Series Circuit to

Packet Platforms to offer 2-wire voice extensions over IP for remote phones,

remote central office or PBX equipment.

Analog voice—

2WFXO

The CTP Series support analog 2WFXO loop start and ground start modes with

software selectable transmit and receive-level adjustments per interface.

The ability to support analog 2WFXO interfaces allows the CTP Series Circuit

to Packet Platforms to offer 2-wire voice extensions over IP to remote phones,

or remote central office or PBX equipment.

IRIG-B

The CTP Series supports an inter-range instrumentation group time code (IRIG-B)

signal to be transported through an IP network. IRIG-B encodes day of year, hour,

minute, and second data on a 1-KHz carrier frequency, with an update rate of once

per second.

Provides the ability to support IRIG-B transport over the IP network with

options to configure direction, output high and low levels, and data range per

interface.
