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