Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View. CTC shows the link icons by default. Step 2 As needed, perform one or more of the following steps:

To toggle link icons on and off, go to Step 3.

To combine all the links in network view, go to Step 4.

To consolidate a link or links between two nodes, go to Step 5.

To view information about a consolidated link, go to Step 6.

To access an individual link within a consolidated link, go to Step 7.

To expand consolidated links, go to Step 8.

To filter links by class, go to Step 9.

Step 3 Right-click the network map and select Show Link Icons to toggle the link icons on and off. Step 4 To consolidate all the links on the network map (global consolidation):

a.Right-click anywhere on the network map.

b.Choose Collapse/Expand Links from the shortcut menu. The Collapse/Expand Links dialog box appears.

c.Select the check boxes for the link classes that you want to consolidate.

d.Click OK. The selected link classes are consolidated on the network map.

Step 5 To consolidate a link or links between two nodes:
