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:
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:
