2.1 Installation Overview
ONS 15327 provisioning and administration is performed using the Cisco Transport Controller software.
CTC is a Java application that is installed in two locations:
•
ONS 15327 Cross Connect Timing and Control card (XTC)
•
PCs and Solaris workstations that connect to the ONS 15327
CTC software is pre-installed on the XTC card. The only time you install software on the XTC card is
when you upgrade from one CTC release to another. To upgrade CTC on the XTC card, you must follow
the upgrade procedures specific to the software release. These procedures can be downloaded from the
Cisco website (www.cisco.com).
For PCs and Solaris workstations, CTC is downloaded from the XTC card and installed on your
computer automatically after you connect to the ONS 15327. To connect to an ONS 15327, you enter the
ONS 15327 IP address in the URL field of a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft®
Internet Explorer. After connecting to an ONS 15327, the following installation occurs automatically:
1.
A CTC launcher applet is downloaded from the XTC card to your computer’s Temp directory. (If
these files are deleted, they are reinstalled the next time you connect to the ONS 15327.)
2.
The launcher determines whether your computer has a CTC release matching the release on the
ONS 15327 XTC card.
