DLP-G46 Log into CTC
Note If you are logging into ONS 15454 nodes in an operation network that are running different 
releases of CTC software, log into the node running the most recent release. If you log into a 
node running an older release, you will receive an INCOMPATIBLE-SW alarm for each node 
in the network running a new release, and CTC will not be able to manage these nodes. To check 
the software version of a node, select About CTC from the CTC Help menu. This will display 
the ONS 15454 software version for each node visible on the network view. If the node is not 
visible, the software version can be read from the LCD display. To resolve an alarm, refer to the 
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 4 If a Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog box appears, complete the “DLP-G47 Install Public-Key 
Security Certificate” task on page 2-28 to install the public-key security certificate required by Software 
Release 4.1 and later.
After you complete the security certificate dialog box (or if the certificate is already installed), a Java 
Console window displays the CTC file download status. The web browser displays information about 
your Java and system environments. If this is the first login, CTC caching messages appear while CTC 
files are downloaded to your computer. The first time you connect to an ONS 15454, this process can 
take several minutes. After the download, the CTC Login dialog box appears (Figure 2-1).

Note When the CTC Login dialog box appears, it might be minimized.
Step 5 In the Login dialog box, type a user name and password (both are case sensitive). For initial setup, type 
the user name CISCO15 and the password otbu+1.
