A.2.1 CTC Menu and Toolbar Options
The CTC window menu bar and toolbar provide primary CTC functions. Table A-3 shows the actions
that are available from the CTC menu and toolbar.
Terminal (west) A terminal (west) node is represented as a three-dimensional
cylinder with one amplifier on the west side of the icon.
• A terminal node contains one 32DMX or 32DMX-O and
one 32-MUX-O. No OADM cards are provisioned.
• A flexible terminal node contains a series of OADM and
amplifier cards.
Terminal (east) A terminal (east) node is represented as a three-dimensional
square with one amplifier on the east side of the icon.
• A terminal node contains one 32DMX or 32DMX-O and
one 32MUX-O. No OADM cards are provisioned.
• A flexible terminal node contains a series of OADM and
amplifier cards.
Line
OSC regeneration line
Line and OSC regeneration line nodes are represented as a
three-dimensional cylinder with one arrow pointing west and
another arrow pointing east.
• A line node has only Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE) or
OPT-BST amplifiers provisioned.
• An optical service channel (OSC) regeneration line node
contains two OSC-CSM cards.
Unknown An unknown DWDM node icon is represented as a
three-dimensional cylinder with one arrow pointing north. An
unknown node means that the provisioned cards do not allow
the node to fit any of the defined DWDM node categories.
