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 In the Node Name field, type the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA IP address of the node that reported the alarm. This can be the original IP address you logged on with or an IP address other than the original.

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