Launch CTC to Correct the Core Version Build
Step 1 Exit the current CTC session and completely close the browser.
Step 2 Start the browser.
Step 3 Enter the ONS 15454 IP address of the node that reported the alarm. This can be the original IP address 
you logged on with or an IP address other than the original.

1.7.10 Username or Password Do Not Match
Symptom A username/password mismatch often occurs concurrently with a NOT-AUTHENTICATED 
alarm
.
Possible Cause The username or password entered does not match the information stored in the 
TCC2/TCC2P card.
Recommended Action All ONS nodes must have the same username and password created to display 
every ONS node in the network. You can also be locked out of certain ONS nodes on a network if 
your username and password were not created on those specific ONS nodes. For initial login to the 
ONS 15454, enter the CISCO15 user name in capital letters, click Login, and use the password 
otbu+1, which is case-sensitive. 
Complete the “Verify Correct Username and Password” procedure on page 1-50. If the node has 
been configured for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication, the 
username and password are verified against the RADIUS server database rather than the security 
information in the local node database. For more information about RADIUS security, refer to the 
“Security Reference” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Verify Correct Username and Password
Step 1 Ensure that your keyboard Caps Lock key is not turned on and affecting the case-sensitive entry of the 
username and password. 
Step 2 Contact your system administrator to verify the username and password.
Step 3 Call Cisco Technical Support (1-800-553-2447) to have them enter your system and create a new user 
name and password.
