Stop. You have completed this procedure.
DLP-G46 Log into CTC
Note For information about CTC views and navigation, see Appendix A, "CTC Information and Shortcuts."
Step 1 From the computer connected to the ONS 15454, start Netscape (PC or UNIX) or Internet Explorer (PC only):
•If you are using a PC, launch Netscape or Internet Explorer from the Windows Start menu or a shortcut icon.
•If you are using UNIX, launch Netscape from the command line by typing one of the following:
–To install Netscape colors for Netscape use, type:
# netscape -install
–To limit Netscape to 32 colors so that if the requested color is not available, Netscape chooses the closest color option, type:
netscape -ncols 32
Note CTC requires a full 24-color palette to run properly. When using color-intensive applications such as Netscape in UNIX, it is possible that UNIX might run out of colors to use for CTC. The -install and -ncols 32 command line options limit the number of colors that Netscape uses.
Step 2 In the Netscape or Internet Explorer web address (URL) field, enter the ONS 15454 IP address. For initial setup, this is the default IP address, 192.1.0.2. (This IP address appears on the LCD. You can suppress the LCD IP address display using CTC after you log in. For more information, see the "DLP-G162 Change IP Settings" task on page 10-10.)
Step 3 Press Enter.
Note If you are logging into ONS 15454 nodes in an operation network that are running different releases of CTC software, log into the node running the most recent release. If you log into a node running an older release, you will receive an INCOMPATIBLE-SW alarm for each node in the network running a new release, and CTC will not be able to manage these nodes. To check the software version of a node, select About CTC from the CTC Help menu. This will display the ONS 15454 software version for each node visible on the network view. If the node is not visible, the software version can be read from the LCD display. To resolve an alarm, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 4 If a Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog box appears, complete the "DLP-G47 Install Public-Key Security Certificate" task to install the public-key security certificate required by Software Release 4.1 and later.
After you complete the security certificate dialog box (or if the certificate is already installed), a Java Console window displays the CTC file download status. The web browser displays information about your Java and system environments. If this is the first login, CTC caching messages appear while CTC files are downloaded to your computer. The first time you connect to an ONS 15454, this process can take several minutes. After the download, the CTC Login dialog box appears ( Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1 Logging into CTC
Note When the CTC Login dialog box appears, it might be minimized.
Step 5 In the Login dialog box, type a user name and password (both are case sensitive). For initial setup, type the user name CISCO15 and the password otbu+1.
Note The CISCO15 user is provided with every ONS 15454. CISCO15 has Superuser privileges, so you can create other users. You must create another Superuser before you can delete the CISCO15 user. CISCO15 is delivered with the otbu+1 password. To change the password for CISCO15, click the Provisioning > Security tabs after you log in and change the password. To set up ONS 15454 users and assign security, go to the "NTP-G23 Create Users and Assign Security" procedure on page 3-5. Additional information about security is provided in the "19.1 Users and Security" section on page 19-1.
Step 6 Each time you log into an ONS 15454, you can make selections on the following login options:
•Node Name—Displays the IP address entered in the web browser and a drop-down list of previously entered ONS 15454 IP addresses. You can select any ONS 15454 on the list for the login, or you can enter the IP address (or node name) of any new node where you want to log in.
•Additional Nodes—Displays a list of current login node groups. To create a login node group or add additional groups, see the "DLP-G48 Create Login Node Groups" task.
•Disable Network Discovery—Check this box to view only the ONS 15454 (and login node group members, if any) entered in the Node Name field. Nodes linked to this node through DCCs are not discovered and will not appear in CTC network view. Using this option can decrease the CTC startup time in networks with many DCC-connected nodes, and can reduce memory consumption.
•Disable Circuit Management—Check this box to disable discovery of existing circuits. Using this option can decrease the CTC initialization time in networks with many existing circuits and reduce memory consumption. This option does not prevent the creation and management of new circuits.
Step 7 Click Login.
If the login is successful, the CTC window appears. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to provision and manage the ONS 15454. If you need to turn up the shelf for the first time, see Chapter 3, "Turn Up a Node." If login problems occur, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.
