12.5.3 Network View
12.5.3.2 CTC Node Colors
The color of a node in network view, shown in Table 12-11, indicates the node alarm status.
12.5.3.3 DCC Links
The lines show DCC connections between the nodes (Table 12-12). DCC connections can be green
(active) or gray (fail). The lines can also be solid (circuits can be routed through this link) or dashed
(circuits cannot be routed through this link). Circuit provisioning uses active/routable links. Selecting a
node or span in the graphic area displays information about the node and span in the status area.
12.5.3.4 Link Consolidation
CTC provides the ability to consolidate the DCC, generic communications channel (GCC), optical
transmission section (OTS), and PPC links shown in the network view into a more streamlined view.
Link consolidation allows you to condense multiple inter-nodal links into a single link. The link
