The CTC window appears after you log into an ONS 15454 (Figure 19-3). The window includes a menu 
bar, a toolbar, and a top and bottom pane. The top pane provides status information about the selected 
objects and a graphic of the current view. The bottom pane provides tabs and subtab to view ONS 15454 
information and perform ONS 15454 provisioning and maintenance. From this window, you can display 
three ONS 15454 views: network, node, and card.

19.5.1 Node View
Node view, shown in Figure 19-3, is the first view that appears after you log into an ONS 15454. The 
login node is the first node shown, and it is the “home view” for the session. Node view allows you to 
manage one ONS 15454 node. The status area shows the node name; IP address; session boot date and 
time; number of Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor (MN) alarms; name and security level of the 
current logged-in user; software version; and network element default setup.

The graphic area of the CTC window depicts the ONS 15454 shelf assembly. The colors of the cards in 
the graphic reflect the real-time status of the physical card and slot (Table 19-4).
