Windows: navigate to the directory containing the StartCTC.exe file and double-click it. (You can
also use the Windows Start menu Run command.)
Solaris: assuming the StartCTC.exe file is accessible from the current shell path, navigate to the
directory containing the CtcLauncher.jar file and type:
% java -jar StartCTC.exe
Same version as the login node: Select if you want to launch the same CTC version as the login node
version, even if more recent versions of CTC are available in the cache.
Latest version available: Select if you want to launch the latest CTC version available. If the cache
has a newer CTC version than the login node, that CTC version will be used. Otherwise the same
CTC version as the login node will be used.
Version x.xx: Select if you want to launch a specific CTC version.
Cisco recommends that you always use the "Same version as the login node" unless the use of
newer CTC versions is needed (for example, when CTC must manage a network containing
mixed version NEs).
Because each CTC version requires particular JRE versions, the CTC Launcher will prompt the
user for the location of a suitable JRE whenever a new CTC version is launched for the first time
using a file chooser dialog (if a suitable JRE version is not known by the launcher yet). That JRE
information is then saved in the user's preferences file. From the selection dialog, select any
appropriate JRE directory.
After the JRE version is selected, the CTC will be launched. The required jar files will be
downloaded into the new cache if they are missing. The CTC Login window will appear after a
few seconds.
