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 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 platforms provide compact and lightweight chassis, high port density, and multiple
Ethernet interfaces. Each CTP platform runs the CTP operating system (CTPOS) and
can be managed by the Juniper Networks CTPView Network Management System, a
secure, Web-based management tool for provisioning, managing, running diagnostics,
monitoring, and reporting on all CTP devices and circuits in the network.
The Juniper Networks CTP1002 Circuit to Packet platform is a 1-U high, half-rack wide
chassis designed for tabletop or shelf installation. It can also be installed in a rack with
the supplied rack-mounting kit. The CTP1002 platform does not have any removable
interface modules or cooling fans, but does use a removable Type II CompactFlash card.
It is available in an AC-powered version only. See
