4.5.2.3 Link Consolidation
CTC provides the ability to consolidate multiple data communcations channel (DCC), general
communications channel (GCC), optical transport section (OTS), provisionable patchcord (PPC), and
server trail links into one or more links. Link consolidation allows you to condense multiple inter-nodal
links into a single link. The link consolidation sorts links by class, meaning that all DCC links are
consolidated together, for example.You can access individual links within consolidated links using the
right-click shortcut menu.
Each link has an associated icon

form instead of detailed form, meaning the nodes appear as rectangles with ports on the sides. Refer to
the Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide for more information about consolidated links.
4.5.3 Card View
The card view provides information about individual ONS 15600 cards. Use this window to perform
card-specific maintenance and provisioning
shown in the graphic area. The status area displays the node name, slot, number of alarms, card type,
equipment type, and the card status (active or standby), card service state if the card is present, and port
service state (described in
perform depend on the card. For more information about card service states, see
"Administrative and Service States."
CTC displays a card view for all ONS 15600 cards except the TSC and Single Shelf
Note
Cross-Connect (SSXC) cards. Provisioning for these common control cards occurs at the node view;
therefore, no card view is necessary.
