Chapter 2      Connect the PC and Log into the GUI
DLP-G42 Set Up a Solaris Workstation for a Craft Connection to an ONS 15454
Step 5 In the Subnet Mask field, type 255.255.255.0. Skip this step if you checked Craft Access Only on the 
Provisioning > Network > General > Gateway Settings tab.
Step 6 Test the connection:
a. Start Netscape Navigator.
b. Enter the ONS 15454 IP address in the web address (URL) field. If the connection is established, a 
Java Console window, CTC caching messages, and the Cisco Transport Controller Login dialog box 
appear. If this occurs, go to Step 2 of the “DLP-G46 Log into CTC” task on page 2-25 to complete 
the login. If the Login dialog box does not appear, complete Steps c and d.
c. At the prompt, type: 
ping ONS-15454-IP-address
For example, to connect to an ONS 15454 with a default IP address of 192.1.0.2, type:
ping 192.1.0.2
If your workstation is connected to the ONS 15454, the following message appears:
IP-address is alive
Note Skip this step if you checked the Craft Access Only check box on the Provisioning > 
Network > General > Gateway Settings tab. 
d. If CTC is not responding, a “no answer from x.x.x.x” message appears. Verify the IP and subnet 
mask information. Check that the cables connecting the workstation to the ONS 15454 are securely 
attached. Check the link status by typing:
# ndd -set /dev/device instance 0
# ndd -get /dev/device link_status
For example:
# ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
# ndd -get /dev/hme link_status
A result of “1” means the link is up. A result of “0” means the link is down.
Note Check the man page for ndd. For example, type: # man ndd.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
