Hi! Yes the CTNID is case sensitive. The best description today can be found in the Server Time Protocol Implementation Guide, SG24-7281:
The CTN ID has the format [STP Network ID] - [ETR Network ID] and is the basis for the establishment of the Coordinated Timing Network. The format of these fields is: CTN ID = "cccccccc - xx" Where cccccccc is the STP Network ID and xx is the ETR Network ID: > The STP network ID is case sensitive and is one to eight characters. The valid characters are A – Z, a – z, 0 – 9, -, and _. > The ETR Network ID is a numeric value ranging between 0 and 31.

I am still trying to see if CTN-ID values are case sensitive. Does anybody know if CTN-ID has such constraints ?
