Different CTC Releases Do Not Recognize Each Other
Problem
Different CTC releases do not recognize each other. This situation is often accompanied by the
INCOMPATIBLE-SW alarm.
Possible Cause
The software loaded on the connecting workstation and the software on the control card
are incompatible.
Solution
This occurs when the control card software is upgraded but the PC has not yet upgraded the compatible
CTC JAR file. It also occurs on login nodes with compatible software that encounter other nodes in the network
that have a newer software version. Complete the
Launch CTC to Correct the Core Version Build, on page
.
Solution
Remember to always log into the ONS node with the latest CTC core version first. If you initially
log into an ONS node running a CTC core version of 2.2 or lower and then attempt to log into another ONS
node in the network running a higher CTC core version, the lower version node does not recognize the new
node.
