12.1 CTC Software Delivery Methods
ONS 15454 provisioning and administration is performed using the CTC software. CTC is a Java
application that is installed in two locations: it is stored on the TCC2 or TCC2P card and it is downloaded
to your workstation the first time you log into the ONS 15454 with a new software release. You can also
log into CTC using the CTC launcher application (StartCTC.exe). Refer to the “12.6 Using the CTC
Launcher Application to Manage Multiple ONS Nodes” section on page 12-20 for more information.
12.1.1 CTC Software Installed on the TCC2/TCC2P Card
CTC software is preloaded on the ONS 15454 TCC2/TCC2P cards; therefore, you do not need to install
software on the TCC2/TCC2P cards. When a new CTC software version is released, use the
release-specific software upgrade document to upgrade the ONS 15454 software on the TCC2/TCC2P
card.
