Procedure: Launch CTC to Correct the Core Version Build

Step 1 Exit the current CTC session and completely close the browser.

Step 2 Start the browser.

Step 3 Type the ONS 15327 IP address of the node that reported the alarm. This can be the original IP address you logged in with or an IP address other than the original.

Step 4 Log into CTC. The browser downloads the JAR file from CTC.

Note After Release 2.2.2, the single CMS.jar file evolved into core and element files. Core files are common to both the ONS 15327 and ONS 15454, while the element files are unique to the particular product. For example, the ONS 15327 Release 1.0 uses a Version 2.3 core build and a Version 1.0 element build. To display the CTC Core Version number, from the CTC menu bar click Help > About CTC. This lists the core and element builds discovered on the network.
