Course Description
The CTR 8500/8300 is the industry’s first microwave router. It is a fully integrated microwave networking
solution, delivering a unique combination of high capacity all-packet transport, Carrier Ethernet, IP/MPLS
and PWE services and comprehensive mission critical microwave features. The CTR is purpose-built for
microwave, enabling operators to prepare for the all-IP future.
The CTR8500/8300 Installation, Operation and Maintenance CE/Layer 2 course teaches students key
functions of the CTR8500/8300 platform and Carrier Ethernet (CE) software features. The course includes
an overview of all available modules and the chassis, initial setup, install and login, basic configuration with
the CLI, system commissioning, configuration, diagnostics, maintenance and troubleshooting. Extensive
hands-on labs (nearly 50% of the course duration) and case studies offer students with scenarios they will
face in real deployments in their networks.
Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep
technology expertise and experience in implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.
The CTR8540 Installation, Operation and Maintenance course is conducted at the Aviat Training locations or
can be arranged at customer sites.
Target Audience
This course is intended for installation and service personnel responsible for installation, configuration, test
and maintenance procedures for the CTR8500/8300 product.
Objectives
