3.3.3 Remote 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.
