Primary Circuit to Packet Solutions

Application

Application Description

Benefit

SS7 transport over IP

Provides transport of dedicated T1 or E1 SS7 links over the IP/

MPLS network.

Eliminates point-to-point T1 and E1 links required for transporting SS7 traffic and allows

convergence over the IP/MPLS network.

TDM over IP solution

The provisioning of point-to-point TDM trunks over the IP

network does not require changes to the TDM equipment.

Allows the continued use and investment protection of the existing TDM equipment or an

easy transition path from a TDM network to an IP network.

PBX interconnect over IP

solution

Provides E1 and T1 trunking for PBX interconnection over the IP

network.

Reduce WAN infrastructure cost through the elimination of costly point-to-point circuits

and leased lines required to support TDM and/or ATM networks. Circuit emulation over IP

enables seamless transition to IP transport without upgrading your entire infrastructure to

VoIP.

PBX Extension over IP with

2WFXS/2WFXO

Provides two-wire analog PBX to phone extensions over IP and

two-wire PBX to PBX/central office connections over IP. Private-

line automatic ringdown (PLAR) is also supported.

Reduces IT expenditures by enabling PBX tie lines to be transported across less expensive

IP data network connections. Analog voice traffic is converted to IP, eliminating the need

for costly T1 tie lines.

Leased line extension over IP

solution

Supports standards-based encapsulation and DS0 bundling. IETF

PWE3 RFCs, SAToP and CESoPSN are supported.

Enables full, fractional and DS0 bundling and mapping of T1 and E1 service provisioned

over an IP/MPLS network and enables interoperability between vendors.

Radio over IP solution

Allows for connectivity of analog and digital radios over IP

networks.

Provides a mechanism to deploy these systems over IP networks while maintaining critical

communications.

Serial encryption over IP

solution

Provides transport of KG/KIV bit-synchronous cipher text across

an IP network.

Eliminates the need to deploy TDM or ATM equipment—saving cost, time, space, and

power.

T1 and E1 backup over IP

Point-to-point T1 or E1 circuits can be automatically backed up

over the IP/MPLS network.

Eliminates redundant point-to-point circuit costs. The end application does not need to

detect IP, saving software and hardware upgrade costs.

Features and Benefits

Key features and benefits of the CTP Series Circuit to Packet Platforms include the following.

Feature

Feature Description

Benefit

Software circuit

provisioning

EIA530, RS-232, V.35, 4WTO, T1, and E1 circuit types are software configured

including the line encoding, clocking, rates, and IP settings.

The network quickly fulfills new and changing end user requirements without

deploying excess hardware.

Scalable product

family

A family of four CTP Series Circuit to Packet Platforms provides different port

densities. Products can address the requirements of small remote sites through large

central network hubs.

Network designers control costs by selecting the CTP Series Circuit to Packet

Platforms most suitable for the site when considering circuit quantities and

anticipated growth.

CTPView Network

Management System

Secure, multi-user, web-based network management system provides network

monitoring, circuit provisioning, IP performance reporting, database backup, and

circuit troubleshooting tools.

Managers quickly deploy circuits and services while proactively monitoring the

network. IP performance reports provide detailed information on IP network

jitter, delay and packet loss. Circuit troubleshooting tools include integral

BERTS and loops to facilitate quick trouble resolution.

Multiple system and

circuit clocking

solutions

CTP Series Circuit to Packet Platforms are designed to use multiple external clocks as

monitored and prioritized system references.

Circuits are configured to use the system clock, external circuit timing, or to

adaptively recover clock information from the remote port when required by the

application or when no reference is configured.

Circuit reliability is improved since ports and systems are configured with the

clocking solution that is most appropriate for the particular application.

Auto switch

The status of the CTP Series circuit ports is monitored, and the circuit is automatically

switched to an alternate local or remote port when a failure is detected.

Network and circuit reliability are increased when the circuits are automatically

restored to alternate locations and equipment in the event of an equipment,

site or network failure.
