4.1 CTC Software Delivery Methods
ONS 15310-MA SDH provisioning and administration is performed using CTC software. CTC is a Java
application that is stored on the 15310E-CTX-K9 card in the ONS 15310-MA SDH. CTC is downloaded
to your workstation the first time you log into a ONS 15310-MA SDH with a new software release.
4.1.1 CTC Software Installed on the 15310E-CTX-K9 Card
CTC software is preloaded on the 15310E-CTX-K9 cards; therefore, you do not need to install software.
You can view the software versions that are installed on an ONS 15310-MA SDH by selecting the
Maintenance > Software tabs in node view (Figure 4-1). Select the Maintenance > Software tabs in
network view to display the software versions installed on all the network nodes.
