Circuit to Packet Series On-Demand

This three-day, intermediate-level course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Circuit-to-Packet (CTP) Series access products and their use cases. Participants will explore the available hardware options and interfaces and learn the essential steps for initial CTP configuration. The course offers in-depth coverage of both local and remote access methods, detailing the configuration options for each interface type and encapsulation methods. It also explains the various node and circuit timing and synchronization settings, along with the role and configuration of jitter buffers. Troubleshooting techniques for circuits are included to help participants diagnose and resolve common issues. Additionally, the course introduces the CTPView network management application, covering its capabilities for configuration, software upgrades, database management, monitoring, bit error rate test (BERT), loopbacks, and performance graphing. The CTP devices used in this course run on CTPOS version 9.2R2, and the CTPView management platform runs on version 9.3R2. Note: Please note this course has been updated to the new version on July 14, 2026. Your current progress has carried over to the new version.Watch a Sneak Peek
