Computer Requirements

3.
4.
Each ONS 15327 can handle up to four network-level CTC sessions (the login node and its
DCC-connected nodes) and one node-level session (login node only) at one time. CTC performance may
vary, depending upon the volume of activity in each session.
You can also use TL1 commands to communicate with the Cisco ONS 15327 through VT100
Note
terminals and VT100 emulation software, or you can telnet to an ONS 15327 using TL1 port 3083.
See the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15327 TL1 Command Guide for a comprehensive list of
TL1 commands.
2.2 Computer Requirements
To use CTC in ONS 15327 Release 3.3, your computer must have a web browser with the correct Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. The correct JRE for each CTC software release is included on the
Cisco ONS 15327 software CD. If you are running multiple CTC software releases on a network, the
JRE installed on your computer must be compatible with the different software releases.

2-2
If the computer does not have CTC installed, or if the installed release is older than the XTC card
version, the launcher downloads the CTC program files from the XTC card.
The launcher starts CTC. The CTC session is separate from the web browser session, so the web
browser is no longer needed. If you log into an ONS 15327 that is connected to ONS 15327s with
older versions of CTC, or to Cisco ONS 15454s, CTC "element" files are downloaded automatically
to enable you to interact with those nodes. You cannot interact with nodes on the network that have
a software version later than the node that you are logged into. Therefore, always log into nodes
having the latest software release.
