12.5 CTC Window
When you log into a single-shelf ONS 15454, the CTC window appears in node view (Figure 12-3).
When you log into a multishelf ONS 15454, meaning that two or more ONS 15454 shelves are
configured to operate as one node, the multishelf view (Figure 12-4) appears in the CTC window. The
window includes a menu bar, a toolbar, and a top and bottom pane. The top pane provides status
information about the selected objects and a graphic of the current view. The bottom pane provides tabs
and subtabs to view ONS 15454 information and perform ONS 15454 provisioning and maintenance
tasks. From the CTC window, you can display the other ONS 15454 views. In single-shelf mode, these
are the network, node, and card views. In multishelf mode, these are the network, multishelf, shelf, and
card views.
TL1 Refers to a connection to the ONS 15454
using TL1 rather than CTC. TL1 sessions can
