Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D22 Install Fiber-Optic Cables in a 1+1 Configuration

DLP-D22 Install Fiber-Optic Cables in a 1+1 Configuration

Note The Cisco OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics, all working at 1310 nm, are optimized for the most widely used SMF-28 fiber, available from many suppliers.

Note Corning MetroCor fiber is optimized for optical interfaces that transmit at 1550 nm or in the C and L DWDM windows. This fiber targets interfaces with higher dispersion tolerances than those found in OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics. If you are using Corning MetroCor fiber, OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics will become dispersion limited before they will become attenuation limited. In this case, consider using OC-3 LR/STM-1 LH, OC-12 LR/STM-4 LH, and OC-48 LR/STM-16 LH cards instead of OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH cards.

Note With all fiber types, network planners/engineers should review the relative fiber type and optics specifications to determine attenuation, dispersion, and other characteristics to ensure appropriate deployment.

Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all 1+1 nodes.

Step 2 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the transmit (Tx) connector of a working STM-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber into the receive (Rx) connector of a working STM-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fibers are mismatched (one fiber connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports). Figure 17-5 shows the cable location.

Purpose This task installs fiber-optic cables on optical (STM-N) cards in a 1+1 linear configuration.

DLP-D27 Delete Circuits

Step 1 Complete the “NTP-D108 Back Up the Database” procedure on page 15-4.

Step 2 Verify that traffic is no longer carried on the circuit and that the circuit can be safely deleted.

Step 3 Investigate all network alarms and resolve any problems that might be affected by the circuit deletion. Refer to the “Alarm Troubleshooting” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.


Step 5 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 6 Choose the circuits that you want to delete, then click Delete.

Step 7 In the Delete Circuits confirmation dialog box, check one or both of the following, as needed:

• Set drop ports to Locked,disabled—Puts the circuit source and destination ports out of service if the circuit is the same size as the port or is the only circuit using the port. If the circuit is not the same size as the port or the only circuit using the port, CTC does not change the port service state.

• Notify when completed—If checked, the CTC Alerts dialog box will indicate when all circuit source/destination ports are Locked,disabled and the circuit is deleted. During this time, you cannot perform other CTC functions. If you are deleting many circuits, waiting for confirmation might take a few minutes. Circuits are deleted whether or not this check box is checked.

Note The CTC Alerts dialog box will not automatically open to show a deletion error unless you checked All alerts or Error alerts only in the CTC Alerts check box. For more information, see the “DLP-D25 Configure the CTC Alerts Dialog Box for Automatic Popup” task on page 17-18. If the CTC Alerts dialog box is not set to open automatically with a notification, the red triangle inside the CTC Alerts toolbar icon indicates that a notification exists.

Step 8 Complete one of the following:

• If you checked Notify when completed, the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. If you want to save the information, continue with Step 9. If you do not want to save the information, continue with Step 10.

• If you did not check Notify when completed, the Circuits window appears. Continue with Step 11.

Step 9 If you want to save the information in the CTC Alerts dialog box, complete the following steps. If you do not want to save the information, continue with the next step.

a. Click Save.

b. Click Browse and navigate to the directory where you want to save the file.

c. Type the file name using a .txt file extension, and click OK.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D28 Create a Four-Fiber MS-SPRing Manually


DLP-D28 Create a Four-Fiber MS-SPRing Manually

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Ring tabs.


Step 3 In the Suggestion dialog box, click OK.

Step 4 In the Create MS-SPRing dialog box, set the MS-SPRing properties:

• Ring Type—Choose four-fiber.

• Ring Name—Assign a ring name. You must use the same ring name for each node in the MS-SPRing. Any alphanumeric character string is permissible, and upper and lower case letters can be combined. Do not use the character string “All” in either upper or lower case letters. This is a TL1 keyword and will be rejected. Do not choose a name that is already assigned to another MS-SPRing.

• Node ID—Choose a Node ID from the drop-down list (0 through 31). The Node ID identifies the node to the MS-SPRing. Nodes in the same MS-SPRing must have unique Node IDs.

• Reversion time—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original working path. The default is 5 minutes. All nodes in an MS-SPRing must have the same reversion time setting.

• West Line—Assign the west MS-SPRing port for the node from the drop-down list.

Note The east and west ports must match the fiber connections and DCC terminations set up in the “NTP-D40 Provision MS-SPRing Nodes” procedure on page 5-10.

• East Line—Assign the east MS-SPRing port for the node from the drop-down list.

• Span Reversion—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original working path following a span reversion. The default is 5 minutes. Span reversions can be set to Never. If you set a reversion time, the times must be the same for both ends of the span. That is, if Node A’s west fiber is connected to Node B’s east port, the Node A west span reversion time must be the same as the Node B east span reversion time. To avoid reversion time mismatches, Cisco recommends that you use the same span reversion time throughout the ring.

• West Protect—Assign the west MS-SPRing port that will connect to the west protect fiber from the drop-down list.

Purpose This task creates a four-fiber MS-SPRing at each MS-SPRing-provisioned node without using the MS-SPRing wizard.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D60 Log into CTC

DLP-D60 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 SDH, 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.

– 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 could 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 SDH IPv4 or IPv6 address. For initial setup, use the default address, 192.1.0.2. (This IP address appears on the LCD. You can suppress the LCD IP address display using CTC. For more information, see the “DLP-D266 Change IP Settings” task on page 19-76.) Press Enter.

To log into CTC using an IPv6 address, you must first log into CTC using an IPv4 address and assign an IPv6 address to the node. Then, use the IPv6 address that you assigned to the node to log into CTC. For more information about configuring IPv6 address, see “DLP-D249 Provision IP Settings” section on page 19-55. Enter the IPv6 address in the address bar of the browser, enclosed in square brackets.

Note If you are logging into ONS 15454 SDH nodes running different releases of CTC software, log into the node running the most recent release. If you log into a node with 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 SDH 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 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.

If a Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog box appears, complete the “DLP-D420 Install the Public-Key Security Certificate” task on page 21-1 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 SDH, this process can take several minutes. After the download, a warning message window appears (Figure 17-9).

Step 4 In the Login dialog box, type a user name and password (both are case sensitive). For initial setup, type the user name CISCO15 and password otbu+1.

Note The CISCO15 user is provided with every ONS 15454 SDH. 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 SDH users and assign security, go to the “NTP-D30 Create Users and Assign Security” procedure on page 3-4. For more information about security, refer to the “Security” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.

Step 5 Each time you log into an ONS 15454 SDH, you can select the following login options:

• Additional Nodes—Displays a list of current login node groups. To create a login node group or add additional groups, see the “DLP-D61 Create Login Node Groups” task on page 17-48.

• Disable Network Discovery—Check this box to view only the ONS 15454 SDH (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 reduces 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 reduces memory consumption. This option does not prevent the creation and management of new circuits.

Step 6 Click Login.

If login is successful, the CTC window appears. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to provision and manage the ONS 15454 SDH. 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 SDH Troubleshooting Guide.

Purpose This task selects the IIOP listener port on CTC.

Tools/Equipment IIOP listener port number from LAN or firewall administrator.


Required/As Needed As needed. Required if the computer running CTC resides behind a firewall.



Purpose This task defines the SDH timing source (external or line) for the ONS 15454 SDH.







78-19872-01

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D69 Set Up External or Line Timing

Step 1 In CTC node view, click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.

Step 2 In the General Timing area, complete the following information:

• Timing Mode—Choose External if the ONS 15454 SDH derives its timing from a MIC-C/T/P FMEC; choose Line if timing is derived from an STM-N card (non-DWDM node) or OSC card (DWDM node) that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set both external and line timing references.

Note Because mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend its use. Use this mode with care.

• Revertive—If this check box is selected, the ONS 15454 SDH reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.

• Reversion Time—If Revertive is checked, indicate the amount of time the ONS 15454 SDH will wait before reverting to its primary timing source.

Step 3 In the Reference Lists area, complete the following information:

Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment attached to the node’s MIC-C/T/P FMEC Timing A and Timing B Out connectors. If you attach equipment to the Timing A Out or Timing B Out connector, you normally attach it to a node with line mode because equipment near the external timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.

• NE Reference—Allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref 3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case the node uses Reference 2. If Reference 2 fails the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. The internal clock is the SETS clock provided on the TCC2/TCC2P. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting.

– Timing Mode set to External—Your options are BITS-1, BITS-2, and Internal Clock.

– Timing Mode set to Line—Your options are the node’s working STM-N cards (non-DWDM nodes), or OSC cards (DWDM nodes) and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the building integrated timing supply (BITS) source, that is, select the node’s trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D69 Set Up External or Line Timing

Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS-1 and BITS-2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.

Step 6 In the BITS In area, complete the following information:

• Facility Type—Choose E1 or 2 MHz depending on the signal supported in your market. E1 and 2 MHz are physical signal modes used to transmit the external clock (from a global positioning satellite [GPS], for example) to BITS.

• BITS In State—If Timing Mode is set to External or Mixed, set the BITS In State for BITS-1 and/or BITS-2 to unlocked depending whether the Timing A Out or Timing B Out connectors on the MIC-C/T/P FMEC are connected to the external timing source. If Timing Mode is set to Line, set the BITS In State to locked.

Step 7 If the BITS In State for BITS-1 and BITS-2 is set to locked, continue with Step 8. If the BITS In State is set to unlocked for either BITS-1 or BITS-2, complete the following information:

• Coding—Choose the coding used by your BITS reference, either HDB3 or AMI (alternate mark inversion). If you selected 2 MHz, the coding option is disabled.

• Framing—Choose the framing used by your BITS reference, either unframed, FAS, FAS + CAS, FAS + CRC, or FAS + CAS + CRC. If you selected 2 MHz, the framing option is disabled.

• Sync Messaging—Select the check box to enable synchronization status messages (SSMs). SSM is used to deliver clock quality. The SSMs supported in SDH are G811, STU, G812T, G812L, SETS, DUS (ordered from high quality to low quality). If you selected 2 MHz, the SSM option is disabled.

• Admin SSM—If the Sync Messaging check box is not checked, you can choose the SSM from the drop-down list.

• Sa bit—Choose one of 5 Sa bits (Sa4, Sa5, Sa6, Sa7, or Sa8). The Sa bit transmits the SSM message. If you selected 2 MHz, the Sa bit option is disabled.

Step 8 In the BITS Out area, complete the following information, as needed:

• Facility Type—choose the BITS Out signal type, either E1 or 2 MHz.

• BITS Out State—If equipment is connected to the node’s BITS output pins on the backplane and you want to time the equipment from a node reference, set the BITS Out State for BITS-1 and/or BITS-2 to unlocked, depending on which BITS Out pins are used for the external equipment. If equipment is not attached to the BITS output pins, set the BITS Out State to locked.

Step 9 If the BITS Out State is set to locked, continue with Step 10. If BITS Out State is set to unlocked, complete the following information:

• Coding—Choose the coding used by your BITS reference, either HDB3 or AMI. If you selected 2 MHz, the coding option is disabled.

• Framing—Choose the framing used by your BITS reference, either unframed, FAS, FAS + CAS, FAS + CRC, or FAS + CAS + CRC. If you selected 2 MHz, the framing option is disabled.

• AIS Threshold—Sets the quality level at which a node sends an alarm indication signal (AIS) from the BITS-1 Out and BITS-2 Out FMEC connectors. When a node times at or below the AIS threshold quality, an AIS is raised. (The AIS threshold is used when SSM is disabled or framing is set to unframed, FAS, or FAS + CAS.)

• Sa bit—Choose one of 5 Sa bits (Sa4, Sa5, Sa6, Sa7, or Sa8). The Sa bit transmits the SSM message. If you selected 2 MHz, the Sa bit option is disabled.

Step 10 Click Apply.

DLP-D83 Provision Orderwire

Step 1 In network view, click the Provisioning > Overhead Circuits tabs.


Step 3 In the Overhead Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:

• Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters (including spaces).

• Type—Choose either Local Orderwire or Express Orderwire, as appropriate to the orderwire path that you want to create. If regenerators are not used between ONS 15454 SDH nodes, you can use either local or express orderwire channels. If regenerators exist, use the express orderwire channel. You can provision up to four ONS 15454 SDH STM-N ports for each orderwire path.

• PCM—Choose the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) voice coding and companding standard, either Mu_Law (North America, Japan) or A_Law (Europe). The provisioning procedures are the same for both types of orderwire.

Caution When provisioning orderwire for ONS 15454 SDHs residing in a ring, do not provision a complete orderwire loop. For example, a four-node ring typically has east and west ports provisioned at all four nodes. However, to prevent orderwire loops, provision two orderwire ports (east and west) at all but one of the ring nodes.

Step 4 Click Next.

Step 5 In the Circuit Source area, complete the following:

• Node—Choose the source node.

• Slot—Choose the source slot.

• Port—If displayed, choose the source port.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D84 Enable Node Secure Mode



DLP-D84 Enable Node Secure Mode

Caution The IPv4 address assigned to the TCC2P LAN port must reside on a different subnet from the MIC-C/T/P LAN port and the ONS 15454 SDH default router. Verify that the new TCC2P IPv4 address meets this requirement and is compatible with ONE 15454 SDH network IPv4 addresses.

Note The node will reboot after you complete this task, causing a temporary disconnection between the CTC computer and the node.

Step 1 Click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.

Step 2 Click Change Mode.

Step 3 Review the information on the Change Secure Mode wizard page, then click Next.

Step 4 On the TCC Ethernet Port page, enter the IP4v address and subnet mask for the TCC2P LAN (TCP/IP) port. The IPv4 address cannot reside on the same subnet as the MIC-C/T/P LAN port, nor the ONS 15454 SDH default router.

Step 5 Click Next.

Step 6 On the MIC-C/T/P Ethernet Port page, modify the MIC-C/T/P IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default router, if needed. (You normally do not modify these fields if no ONS 15454 SDH network changes have occurred.)

Step 7 Click Next.

Step 8 On the SOCKS Proxy Server Settings page, choose one of the following options:

• External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, the CTC computer is only visible to the ONS 15454 SDH to which the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to the DCC-connected nodes. In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port. By default, SOCKS proxy is not enabled for an ENE. If SOCKS proxy is disabled, the NE cannot communicate with other secure mode NEs behind the firewall.

Purpose This task enables the ONS 15454 SDH secure mode. When the secure mode is enabled, two IPv4 addresses are assigned to the node. One address is assigned to the MIC-C/T/P LAN port and the other to the TCC2P RJ-45 TCP/IP (LAN) port.

Tools/Equipment TCC2P cards must be installed.

Prerequisite Procedures NTP-D108 Back Up the Database, page 15-4






78-19872-01

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D85 Lock Node Security

• Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port. By default, configuring the secure node as a GNE also enables SOCKS proxy for communication with other secure NEs.


Within the next 30 to 40 seconds, the TCC2P cards reboot. CTC switches to network view, and the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. In network view, the node changes to grey and a DISCONNECTED condition appears.

Step 10 In the CTC Alerts dialog box, click Close. Wait for the reboot to finish. (This might take several minutes.)

Step 11 After the DISCONNECTED condition clears, complete the following steps to suppress the MIC-C/T/P IPv4 address from display in CTC and the LCD. If you do not want to suppress the MIC-C/T/P IPv4 address display, continue with Step 12.

a. Display the node in node view.

b. Click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.

c. If you wish to suppress the IPv4 address from being displayed on the NE’s LCD, in the LCD IP Setting field, choose Suppress Display. This removes the IPv4 address from display on the ONS 15454 SDH LCD.

d. If you wish to suppress the IPv4 address from being displayed in CTC, check the Suppress CTC IP Address check box. This removes the IPv4 address from display in the CTC information area and from the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tab.

e. Click Apply.

Note After you turn on secure mode, the TCC2P IPv4 address becomes the node IPv4 address. The MIC-C/T/P LAN port has a different IPv4 address.


DLP-D85 Lock Node Security

Purpose This task locks the configuration of an ONS 15454 SDH placed in secure mode. When secure mode is locked, two IP addresses must always be provisioned for the node, one for the TCC2P LAN (TCP/IP) port, and one for the MIC-C/T/P LAN port.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D86 Modify MIC-C/T/P Port IP Settings in Secure Mode

Caution When a node is locked, this task is not reversible by any user or action. It can only be changed by Cisco Technical Support. Even if the node’s database is deleted and another unlocked database is loaded, the node will remain locked because the security is written to the TCC2P hardware. Do not proceed unless you want to permanently retain the current secure configuration including dual IP addresses.


Step 2 Click Lock.

Step 3 In the Confirm Lock Secure Mode dialog box, click Yes.


DLP-D86 Modify MIC-C/T/P Port IP Settings in Secure Mode

Caution Provisioning an IP address that is incompatible with the ONS 15454 SDH network might be service affecting.

Note This task cannot be performed on a secure mode NE that has been locked.


Step 2 Modify the following fields, as necessary:

• IP Address

• Subnet Mask

• Default Router

• LCD IP Setting—Choose one of the following:

– Allow Configuration—Displays the MIC-C/T/P IP address on the LCD and allows it to be changed using the LCD buttons.

Purpose This task modifies the ONS 15454 SDH MIC-C/T/P IP address, subnet mask, and default router. It also modifies settings that control MIC-C/T/P IP address visibility in CTC and the ONS 15454 SDH LCD. To perform this task, secure mode must be enabled.

Chapter 17 DLPs D1 to D99 D87 Disable Node Security Mode

– Display only—Displays the MIC-C/T/P IP address on the LCD but does not allow it to be changed using the LCD buttons.

– Suppress Display—Suppresses the display of the IP address on the LCD.

• Suppress CTC IP Address—If checked, displays node IP information only to Superusers (that is, not to Provisioning, Maintenance, or Retrieve-level users) in the CTC Provisioning > General > Network tab; the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tab, and the CTC node view information area.

Step 3 Click Apply.

If you changed the IP address, subnet mask, or default router, the node will reboot. This will take 5 to 10 minutes.


DLP-D87 Disable Node Security Mode

Note The node will reboot after you complete this task, causing a temporary disconnection between the CTC computer and the node.

Note If you execute this task, the node will not communicate or show visibility for nodes that are in secure mode.

Note If you change an NE from secure mode to the default (repeater) mode, the MIC-C/T/P IP address becomes the node IP address.

Note This task cannot be performed if the NE’s security mode configuration has also been locked. In that case, you must contact Cisco Technical Support to change the node configuration.


Step 2 Click Change Mode.

Purpose This task disables the ONS 15454 SDH secure mode and allows only one IP address to be provisioned for the MIC-C/T/P LAN port and the TCC2P LAN port.

Step 3 Review the information on the Change Secure Mode wizard page, then click Next.

Step 4 On the Node IP Address page, choose the address you want to assign to the node:

• MIC C/T/P Ethernet Port—Assigns the MIC-C/T/P IP address as the node IP address.

• TCC Ethernet Port—Assigns the TCC2P port IP address as the node IP address

• New IP Address—Allows you to define a new IP address. If you choose this option, enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and default router IP address.

Step 5 Click Next.

Step 6 On the SOCKS Proxy Server Settings page, choose one of the following:

• External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, SOCKS proxy will be disabled by default, and the CTC computer is only visible to the ONS 15454 SDH to which the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to the secure mode DCC-connected nodes. In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.

• Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes, and SOCKS proxy remains enabled. However, the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.

• Proxy-only—If selected, the ONS 15454 SDH responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes within the firewall for which the node serves as a proxy. The CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node does not prevent traffic from being routed between the DCC and LAN port.


Within the next 30 to 40 seconds, the TCC2P cards reboot. CTC switches to network view, and the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. In network view, the node changes to grey and a DISCONNECTED condition appears.

Step 8 In the CTC Alerts dialog box, click Close. Wait for the reboot to finish. (This might take several minutes.)
