Configuring the CTPView Administrative Settings

This topic provides an overview of configuring CTPView administrative settings. You must configure these settings when you receive a new CTPView server and after you install or upgrade the CTPView server operating system (OS) or the CTPView software. Many of the settings provide better access security for your CTP network. Juniper Networks recommends that you perform some of the following tasks at least every year; details are in the task.
