CTC Information and Shortcuts

This appendix describes the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) views, menu and tool options, shortcuts, and table display options for the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH. This appendix also describes the shelf inventory data presented in CTC. For more information about CTC, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

Note If network discovery is enabled on the node, CTC searches each node in the network for more recent versions of the CTC software. If a more recent version is discovered, CTC gives you the option of downloading the newer version to your PC. Refer to the “Cisco Transport Controller Operations” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for more information.

Display Node, Card, and Network Views

CTC provides four views of the ONS 15454 SDH and the ONS network:

•Node view appears when you first log into an ONS 15454 SDH. This view shows a graphic of the ONS 15454 SDH shelf and provides access to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the node.

•Card view provides access to individual ONS 15454 SDH cards. This view provides a graphic of the card and access to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the card.

•Network view shows all the nodes in a ring. A Superuser can set up this feature so each user will see the same network view, and users can create a custom view with maps. This view provides access to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the network. Network view can contain domains. A domain is used to isolate nodes or groups of nodes for easier maintenance. Double-clicking a domain shows all the nodes in the domain; nodes connected to the domain are grayed out.

Table A-1lists different actions for changing CTC views.
