2.9.3 CTC Card Resetting and Switching
Step 1 Log into a node on the network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Identify the active TCC2/TCC2P:
If you are looking at the physical ONS 15454 shelf, the ACT/SBY LED of the active card is green. The
ACT/STBLY LED of the standby card is amber.
Step 3 Right-click the active TCC2/TCC2P in CTC.
Step 4 Choose Reset Card from the shortcut menu.
Step 5 Click Yes in the Confirmation Dialog box.
The card resets, the FAIL LED blinks on the physical card, and connection to the node is lost. CTC
switches to network view.
Step 6 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. For LED
appearance, see the “2.8.3 Typical Card LED State After Successful Reset” section on page 2-260.
Step 7 Double-click the node and ensure that the reset TCC2/TCC2P is in standby mode and that the other
TCC2/TCC2P is active. Verify the following:
• If you are looking at the physical ONS 15454 shelf, the ACT/SBY LED of the active card is green.
The ACT/STBLY LED of the standby card is amber.
• No new alarms appear in the Alarms window in CTC.

group might display a protection switch. To disallow the protection switch from being displayed,
the protection group should be locked at the node where XC switch or soft reset of an active XC
switch is in progress.
