New Features and Functionality

Improved GUI on Circuit Creation Wizard

A panel was added to the Circuit Creation Wizard to record entries from previous pages. This panel is visible during the selection process and displays user selections.

Network Topology Map

In Release 3.3, you can use a Zoom command to change the network topology map display:

You can store a preferred zoom configuration as the default map view.

When you zoom in or out, nodes are repositioned so that DCC spans do not overlap. DCCs are clearly delineated while nodes retain their geographic positions (as placed by the user or longitude/latitude coordinates).

With zooming, it is possible to see and select one of up to ten DCC spans.

The size of the ONS 15327 icon has been reduced to allow for more nodes in a view.

Common Security Profiles

CTC allows user security information (userid, password, permissions) to be shared across the nodes it manages:

You can set SNMP community strings and access privileges.

You can perform user management operations (such as creating a user or changing a password) at the network level. When a change is made on this screen, it applies to all CTC-managed nodes.

Multiple Circuit Creation

You can define multiple circuits between the same nodes in one easy step using the Number of Circuits field in the Circuit Provisioning Wizard.

CTC Managed Software Download

CTC Managed Software Download allows you to download CTC software to multiple nodes serially and in parallel.

Note Cisco advises that you limit concurrent software downloads to 3 nodes at once.

Directional Arrows on Circuit Maps

Arrowheads have been added to circuit lines displayed on the circuit map to distinguish unidirectional and bidirectional circuits.

CTC Enhancements

The following features are new for CTC in Release 3.3.
