12.6 Using the CTC Launcher Application to Manage Multiple
ONS Nodes
The CTC Launcher application is an executable file, StartCTC.exe, that is provided on
Software Release 8.5 CDs for Cisco ONS products. You can use CTC Launcher to log into multiple ONS
nodes that are running CTC Software Release 3.3 or higher, without using a web browser. The CTC
launcher application provides an advantage particularly when you have more than one NE version on the
network, because it allows you to pick from all available CTC software versions. It also starts more
quickly than the browser version of CTC and has a dedicated node history list.
CTC Launcher provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS NEs that
have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option is used to connect to ONS NEs that reside
behind third party, OSI-based GNEs. For this option, CTC Launcher creates a TL1 tunnel to transport
the TCP traffic through the OSI-based GNE.
