The CTC node view is the first view that appears when you log into a single-shelf ONS node. The login
node is the first node displayed, and it is the “home view” for the session. Node view allows you to view and manage a node or a subtending shelf in a multishelf node. When viewing a shelf within a multishelf node, the view is known as shelf view. The status area shows the node name; number of Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor (MN) alarms; node IP address; session boot date and time; name of the current logged-in user; security level of the user (Superuser, Provisioning, Maintenance, or Retrieve); software version; and defaults setting (such as, “Factory”).
The graphic area of the CTC window depicts the ONS node shelf assembly. The colors of the cards in
the graphic reflect the real-time status of the physical card and slot. The following table shows the status indicated by the card color.

Move your mouse over cards in the node/shelf view graphic to display popups with additional
information about the card including the card type; the card status (such as “Active” or “Present”); the type of alarm (such as Critical, Major, and Minor), if any; the alarm profile used by the card; and for transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) cards, the wavelength of the DWDM port. Right-click a card to reveal a shortcut menu that you can use to open, reset, delete, or change a card. Right-click a slot to preprovision a card (that is, provision a slot before installing the card).
