Link Filter

 

Opens the Link Filter dialog box, which allows you to choose which link classes

 

 

 

display on the nondetail network map. The available classes vary according to

 

 

 

the selected network scope:

 

 

 

• ALL—DCC, GCC, OTS, PPC, server trail

 

 

 

•

DWDM—GCC, OTS, PPC

 

 

 

• TDM—DCC, PPC, server trail

Opens the CTC Alerts dialog box, which shows the status of certain CTC

 

 

 

background tasks. When the CTC Alerts toolbar icon contains a red triangle,

 

 

 

unread notifications exist. When there are no unread notifications, the CTC

 

 

 

Alerts toolbar icon contains a gray triangle. Notifications include:

 

 

 

•

Network disconnection

 

 

 

• Send-PDIP inconsistency—CTC discovers a new node that does not have a

 

 

 

 

SEND-PDIP setting consistent with the login node.

 

 

 

• Circuit deletion status—The alert appears when the circuit deletion process

 

 

 

 

completes if you choose “Notify when complete” as described in the

 

 

 

 

“NTP-D288 Modify and Delete Overhead Circuits and Server Trails”

 

 

 

 

procedure on page 7-4. The CTC Alerts window always reports circuit

 

 

 

 

deletion errors.

 

 

 

•

Conditions retrieval error

 

 

 

•

Software download failure

 

 

 

You can save a notification by clicking the Save button in the CTC Alerts dialog

 

 

 

box and navigating to the directory where you want to save the text file.

 

 

 

By default, the CTC Alerts dialog box appears automatically. To disable
