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 how to navigate within Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and change the
display of CTC table data for the Cisco ONS 15327. It also lists menu and tool options and describes the
