12.5.1 Summary Pane
The Summary pane on the left has the following fields:
• Node Addr—IP address of the node.
• Booted—The Booted field indicates one of the following:
–
Date and time of the node reboot. The node reboot is caused by complete power cycle, software
upgrade, or software downgrade.
–
Date and time of reset of the control cards one after the other.
• User—Login user name.
• Authority—Security level of users. The possible security levels are Retrieve, Maintanence,
Provisioning, and Superuser.

12.5.2 Node View (Multishelf Mode), Node View (Single-Shelf Mode), and
Shelf View (Multishelf Mode)
Node view, shown in Figure 12-3, is the first view that appears after you log into a single-shelf
ONS 15454. Multishelf view, shown in Figure 12-4, is the first view that appears after you log into a
multishelf ONS 15454. The login node is the first node shown, and it is the “home view” for the session.
Multishelf view and node view allow you to manage one ONS 15454 node. The status area shows the
node name; IP address; session boot date and time; number of Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor
(MN) alarms; name and security level of the current logged-in user; software version; and network
element default setup.
In a multishelf mode, up to 12 shelves operate as a single node.
Note The reason for extending the number of subtending shelves from eight to 12 is to accommodate and
manage the new optical and DWDM cards that operate in the even band frequency grid.
When you open a shelf from multishelf view, shelf view appears, which looks similar to node view but
does not contain the tabs and subtabs that are used for node-level operations.
12.5.2.1 CTC Card Colors
The graphic area of the CTC window depicts the ONS 15454 shelf assembly. The colors of the cards in
the graphic reflect the real-time status of the physical card and slot (Table 12-4).
