The CTC window, or graphical user interface (GUI), includes a menu bar and a top and bottom pane. Information in CTC displays in one of three views that you can navigate through to perform provisioning tasks:

•Network view—displays information about the ONS 15327 network. You perform network management tasks in this view.

•Node view—displays information about one ONS 15327 node. You perform node management tasks in this view.

•Card view—displays information about individual ONS 15327 cards. You perform card management tasks in this view.

A graphic of the current view appears in the upper right portion of the CTC window. The node view displays the ONS 15327 shelf. The network view displays a background map with ONS 15327 nodes represented by colored icons. The card view displays a graphic of the selected card.
