3.3.3Remote Access to the ONS 15327

78-11719-02 July 2001

Using Cisco Transport Controller 3

•Select Manual proxy conﬁguration to add exceptions to the proxy server, then click View. On the Manual Proxy Conﬁguration dialog box under Exceptions, enter the IP addresses of ONS 15327 nodes that you will access. Separate each address with a comma. Click OK to close each open dialog box.

3.3.3Remote Access to the ONS 15327

You can remotely access an ONS 15327 node using a LAN modem. The LAN modem must be connected to the RJ-45 port on an XTC card. The LAN modem must be properly conﬁgured for use with the ONS 15327. When the modem is installed, dial-up access to the ONS 15327 is available using a PC modem.

3.3.4 Connecting to the ONS 15327 with TL1 Terminals

Although the ONS 15327 is designed to be used with CTC, you can communicate with the ONS 15327 using TL1 commands or Telnet to port 2361. To connect a TL1 terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the ONS 15327, use the craft port on the front panel of the XTC. For TL1 commands that can be used with the ONS 15327, see Chapter 10, “TL1 Reference.”

3.4 Logging into CTC

After you have installed the required ﬁles to run CTC and connected your workstation to the ONS 15327, you can log into CTC and begin setting up the ONS 15327 node.

If you have a network with ONS 15327 or ONS 15454 nodes that are running different releases of CTC software, you must log into the node running the most recent release in order to see the network (on the network map) and communicate with all nodes on the network. You can view the software version in the About CTC dialog box (Figure 3-4). To open the About CTC dialog box, on the menu bar click Help > About CTC. CTC Core Build tells you which version of software is running on the node. Following the core build information is a list of the various network-element builds found on the network. Each list has a sublist of the nodes running that build.
