This topic describes how to configure port parameters for serial interfaces.
Before you begin:
To configure serial port parameters for CTP bundles using CTPView:
Table 1: CTP Bundle Serial Port Parameter Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Port Description | Specifies a description for the port. | Enter a description of up to 62 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. | 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. | 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 12288.00000 KHz. |
