Purpose This task reinitializes the ONS 15454 using the CTC reinitialization tool 
on a UNIX computer. Reinitialization uploads a new software package 
to the TCC2/TCC2P cards, clears the node database, and restores the 
factory default parameters.

JRE 1.4.2 must be installed on the computer to log into the node at the 
completion of the reinitialization. The reinitialization tool can run on
