Configuring Serial Port Parameters for CTP Bundles (CTPView)
This topic describes how to configure port parameters for serial interfaces.
Before you begin:
Log in to the CTPView software at least at the Net_Admin level.
Connect the CTPView server to the CTP device for which you want to configure bundles.
To configure serial port parameters for CTP bundles using CTPView:
- In the side pane, select Bundle > Configuration.
- Run your mouse over the Display and Select an Existing Bundle bar.
- In the table of bundles, select the bundle that you want to modify.
- Under Port Options configure the parameters as described in Table 19.
- Click Click to Submit Bundle AND Port Changes.

Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Port Description | Specifies a description for the port. | Enter a description of up to 64 alphanumeric characters. Do not use the following characters: ( ; ' " ) ] |
I/F Mode | Specifies that the interface is connected to a data communication equipment (DCE) device or to a data terminal equipment (DTE) device. | Select one:
|
Serial Encoding | Specifies the serial encoding method used on this bundle. When you change the encoding method, the clocking configuration changes to the default configuration for the encoding method that you select. | Select one:
|
TDM Function | This option is used only for TDM/TDC operation. See Configuring the High-Speed CTP Bundle for TDM/TDC Operation (CTPView). | |
TDM Rate | This option is used only for TDM/TDC operation. See Configuring the High-Speed CTP Bundle for TDM/TDC Operation (CTPView). | |
I/F Type | Specifies the electrical standard used on the serial interface. You can install the following optional daughter cards on a serial interface:
| Select one:
|
Port Speed | Specifies the speed of the port. In networks without bandwidth constraints, we recommend a multiple of 10. The port speed recommendations vary according to encoding type:
The port speed also varies depending on hardware:
| Enter a number from 0.00100 through 12880.00000 KHz. |
