Upgrading Cisco ONS 15454 Release 2.2.x to 3.0.0 
Using the TCC+ Card
Introduction
This document explains how to upgrade Cisco ONS 15454's Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software 
from Release 2.2.x to Release 3.0.0 using the Timing, Communications, and Control + (TCC+) card.

upgraded. If the node falls into this condition, traffic may be affected on provisioned circuits. If you 
choose to upgrade nodes to Release 3.0.0, perform the upgrade within a maintenance window and follow
