Introducing CTP Series Platforms
Juniper Networks CTP Series Circuit to Packet platforms provide advanced technology and features
required to reliably transport legacy time-division multiplexing (TDM) and other circuit-based applications
across next-generation IP networks. CTP Series platforms create an IP packet flow from a serial data or
analog voice connection at one end and provide the necessary processing to re-create the serial bit stream
or analog signal from the received packet flow at the other end.
CTP Series platforms provide compact and lightweight chassis, high port density, and multiple Ethernet
interfaces. Each CTP Series platform runs the CTP operating system (CTPOS) and can be managed by the
Juniper Networks CTPView Network Management System. The CTPView Network Management System
is a secure, Web-based management tool for provisioning, managing, running diagnostics, monitoring, and
reporting on all CTP Series devices and circuits in the network.
CTP150 Platform Overview
The Juniper Networks CTP150 Circuit to Packet platform is a 1-U high, full-rack wide chassis designed
for tabletop or shelf installation. It can also be installed in a rack with the supplied rack-mounting kit. The
CTP150 platform has two removable modules for serial interfaces, T1/E1 interfaces, or both, and a
removable Type II CompactFlash card, but no hard drive. It is available in a removable AC-powered version
only.
