New Features and Functionality

Column Sizes

If you change the column width of table data in a CTC window, CTC will retain that width for the rest of the CTC session (unless you change it again). CTC Release 3.3 allows the operator to save individual column widths for each type of table.

OSPF Support

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) support allows OSPF hello notifications to be exposed through the LAN interface to external routers which automatically update their static route tables. OSPF can be configured so that OSPF routes are not displayed automatically. The default setting is off (not advertising OSPF).

Inhibit Switch to Protection Support

CTC reflects protection switches issued by TL1 commands. CTC also supports Lockout inhibition when set by TL1 or CTC.

Online Help

ONS 15327 Release 3.3 documentation can be viewed in an online help window accessed through the CTC Help menu. The help is installed from the ONS 15327 Release 3.3 software CD or the documentation CD, using the new CTC Setup Wizard. The help window includes a table of contents and an index in frames adjacent to the body text. It also provides access to PDF versions of the manuals and a search tool.

SONET/SDH Combination Card

CTC reflects each port’s mode configuration (SONET/SDH) visually in inventory and card view. Each port can be set to SDH or SONET. If a port is configured as SDH, CTC prevents VT and STS-1 cross connection.

For SDH, CTC functionally provides the same operation that was supported when the units were configured for SONET services only.

Each port on all OC-12 cards (OC12 IR 1310, OC12 LR 1310, OC12 LR 1550) can be provisioned as STM-4. Each port on all OC-48 cards (OC48 IR 1310, OC48 LR 1310, OC48 LR 1550) can be provisioned as STM-16.

All CTC fault management functions are provided for these cards.

Performance Management

All CTC performance management functionality:

Provides for SDH

Reports existing PM information (SONET and Async)

Reports threshold crossing alarms

Configuration Management

CTC graphically and visually designates the SDH/SONET combo card and each port’s current mode (SONET or SDH mode).
