Node Name—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha
character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters.
To avoid errors when you import the Cisco MetroPlanner configuration file in the

and the MetroPlanner site name should be the same or at least easy to identify.
Contact—Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number, up to 255 characters
(optional).
Latitude—Enter the node latitude: N (north) or S (south), degrees, and minutes (optional).
Longitude—Enter the node longitude: E (east) or W (west), degrees, and minutes (optional).
CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS 15454 icons on the network view map. To
convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the number after the decimal by
60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15 minutes (0.250739 x 60 =
15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).
Description—Type a description of the node. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
Use NTP/SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the date and time of the node.
If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15454 will
use these fields for alarm dates and times. (CTC displays all alarms in the login node's time zone
for cross network consistency.)
Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use the same date
Note
and time reference. The server synchronizes the node's time after power outages or software
upgrades.
If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box, type the IP address of one of the following:
