CTC Information and Shortcuts
The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
Note
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) views, menus and tool options, shortcuts,
and table display options. This appendix also describes the shelf inventory data presented in CTC. For
more information about CTC, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

Network view shows all the nodes in a ring. A Superuser can set up this feature so each user will see
the same network view, or the user can create a custom view with maps. This view provides access
to tabs and subtabs that you use to manage the network.
