Before You Install a CTP Platform
Before you install a Juniper Networks CTP Circuit to Packet platform:
•
Verify that the electrical supply meets all power requirements. See the system
specifications for the applicable CTP model.
•
Verify that the site meets all environment specifications. Refer to the environmental
requirements and the system specifications for the applicable CTP model.
•
Verify that the cables you plan to use meet the specifications, and review the cabling
recommendations.
•
Verify the operation of all telephone circuits, digital services, and T1 facilities required
for installation.
•
Ensure that all IP requirements are met, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, and any
specific routing protocol information.

Choose a location for the device that is dry, relatively dust free, well ventilated, and air
conditioned. If you install equipment in a rack, be sure that the floor is capable of
supporting the combined weight of the rack and the installed equipment. Place the device
in a location with sufficient access to power and network cables.
Like other network devices, the device generates a significant amount of heat. You must
provide a balanced environment so that the device performs properly and safely. See
the individual system specifications for acceptable ranges of temperature and humidity.
