17.1.2 CTC Software Installed on the PC or UNIX Workstation

CTC software is downloaded from the TCC2 cards and installed on your computer automatically after

you connect to the ONS 15454 with a new software release for the first time. Downloading the CTC

software files automatically ensures that your computer is running the same CTC software version as the

TCC2 cards you are accessing. The CTC files are stored in the temporary directory designated by your

computer operating system. You can use the Delete CTC Cache button to remove files stored in the

temporary directory. If the files are deleted, they download the next time you connect to an ONS 15454.

Downloading the Java archive (JAR) files for CTC takes several minutes depending on the bandwidth

of the connection between your workstation and the ONS 15454. For example, JAR files downloaded

from a modem or a data communications channel (DCC) network link require more time than JAR files

downloaded over a LAN connection.

To connect to an ONS 15454 using CTC, you enter the ONS 15454 IP address in the URL field of

Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. After connecting to an ONS 15454, the following

A CTC launcher applet is downloaded from the TCC2 card to your computer.

The launcher determines whether your computer has a CTC release matching the release on the

ONS 15454 TCC2 card.

If the computer does not have CTC installed, or if the installed release is older than the TCC2 card's

version, the launcher downloads the CTC program files from the TCC2 card.
