CTC Information and Shortcuts
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) views, menus options, tool options,
shortcuts, and table display options. This appendix also describes the shelf inventory data presented in
CTC. For more information about CTC, see
Chapter 19, “CTC Operation Reference.”
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
A.1 Display Node, Card, and Network Views
CTC provides three views of the ONS 15454 and the ONS network:
•
Node view appears when you first log into an ONS 15454. This view shows a graphic of the
ONS 15454 shelf and provides access to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the node.
• Card view provides access to individual ONS 15454 cards. This view provides a graphic of the card
and provides 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, or the user can create a custom view with maps. This view provides access
to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the network.
Table A-1 lists different actions for changing CTC views.
