CTC Window
4.6.1 Node View
Node view is the first view that appears after you log into an ONS 15310-MA SDH. The login node is
the first node shown, and it is the “home view” for the session. Node view allows you to view and manage
one node. The status area shows the node name; IP address; session boot date and time; number of
Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor (MN) alarms; the name of the current logged-in user; the security
level of the user; the software version; and the network element default setup.

4.6.1.1 CTC Card Colors

The graphic area of the CTC window depicts the shelf assembly. The colors of the cards in the graphic
reflect the real-time status of the physical card and slot (Table 4-3).
The port color in both card and node view indicates the port service state. Table 4-4 lists the port colors
and their service states. For more information about port service states, see Appendix B, “Administrative
and Service States.”
