version first. If you initially log into an ONS node running a CTC

 

core version of 2.2 or earlier and then attempt to log into another

 

ONS node in the network running a later CTC core version, the

 

earlier version node does not recognize the new node.

Procedure: 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 15327 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 XTC.
