Procedure: Log into the CTC

Step 1 From the PC connected to the ONS 15327, start Netscape or Windows Explorer.

Step 2 In the Netscape or Internet Explorer Web address (URL) ﬁeld, type the ONS 15327 IP address. For initial setup, this is the default address, 192.1.0.2.

Step 3 Type a valid user name and password. For initial setup, type the user name CISCO15 and click Login (no password is required).

Note CISCO15 is the default user name provided with every ONS 15327. This user name has Superuser rights and privileges so you can set up other ONS 15327 users. The CISCO15 user is delivered without a password. To assign a password, click the Provisioning > Security tabs and change the Superuser password. In addition to the CISCO15 user, a “cerent454” user is provided for compatibility with previous CTC releases. For procedures that set up ONS 15327 security, see the “Setting Up ONS 15327 Security” section on page 3-31.

After logging in, the CTC node view (Figure 3-6)appears. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to perform the ONS 15327 OAM&P tasks described in the following sections.

3.5 Viewing CTC

The CTC window, or graphical user interface (GUI), includes a menu bar and a top and bottom pane. Information in CTC displays in one of three views that you can navigate through to perform provisioning tasks:

•Network view—displays information about the ONS 15327 network. You perform network management tasks in this view.

•Node view—displays information about one ONS 15327 node. You perform node management tasks in this view.

•Card view—displays information about individual ONS 15327 cards. You perform card management tasks in this view.

A graphic of the current view appears in the upper right portion of the CTC window. The node view displays the ONS 15327 shelf. The network view displays a background map with ONS 15327 nodes represented by colored icons. The card view displays a graphic of the selected card.
