•
These options are useful if you want to log in to a node to perform a single task, such as placing a card
in or out of service, and do not want to wait while CTC discovers DCC connections and circuits.
4.4.1 Legal Disclaimer
The CTC Login window currently displays the following warning message: "Warning: This system is
restricted to authorized users for business purpose. Unauthorized access is a violation of the law. This
service can be monitored for administrative and security reasons. By proceeding, you consent to this
monitoring."
The ONS 15600 SDH allows a user with Superuser privileges to modify the default login warning
message and save it to a node using the Provisioning > Security > Legal Disclaimer > HTML tab. The
login warning message field allows up to 250 characters of text (1600 characters total, including HTML
markup).

4.4.2 Login Node Group

Login node groups display nodes that have only an IP connection. After you are logged into CTC, you
can create a login node group from the Edit > Preferences menu. Login groups appear in the
Additional Nodes list on the Login window.
For example, if you logged into Node 1, you would see Node 2 and Node 3 because they have DCC
connectivity to Node 1. You would not see Nodes 4, 5, and 6 because DCC connections do not exist. To
view all six nodes at once, you create a login node group with the IP addresses of Nodes 1, 4, 5, and 6.
Those nodes, and all nodes optically connected to them, appear when you select the login group from
the Additional Nodes list on the Login window the next time you log in.

4.5 CTC Window

The CTC window appears after you log into an ONS 15600 SDH. The CTC node view is the first view
that appears after you log into an ONS 15600 SDH
displayed, and it is the "home view" for the session (accessed by choosing View > Go To Home View).
The CTC window includes a menu bar, a toolbar, and a top and bottom pane. The top pane displays status
information about the selected objects and a graphic of the current view. The bottom pane displays tabs
and subtabs, which you use to view ONS 15600 SDH information and perform ONS 15600 SDH
provisioning and maintenance. From the default node view window you can display the other two
ONS 15600 SDH views: network and card.

The Disable Circuit Management option omits the discovery of circuits. To view circuits
immediately after logging in, make sure that Disable Circuit Management is not checked. However,
if disabled, after you have logged in you can click the Circuits tab and CTC will give you the option
to enable circuit management.
