The StartCTC application is an executable file, StartCTC.exe, that is provided on Software Release 8.0 
CDs for Cisco ONS products. You can use StartCTC to log into multiple ONS nodes that are running 
CTC Software Release 3.3 or higher, without using a web browser.

StartCTC provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS network elements 
(NEs) that have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option is used to connect to ONS 
NEs that reside behind third party, OSI-based gateway network elements (GNEs). For this option, 
StartCTC creates a TL1 tunnel to transport the TCP traffic through the OSI-based GNE. 

This application guide tells you how to:

Install the program.

Use StartCTC to start a CTC session to an ONS NE that has an IP connection to the CTC computer.

Create TL1 tunnels to connect to ONS NEs on the other side of third-party, OSI-based GNEs.

View and manage TL1 tunnels using CTC.

Use the following steps to install the StartCTC application to your computer.

Installation of Java 5 JRE is required for StartCTC.exe to run. If JRE 5 has been already installed, skip 
to 

. Otherwise, proceed as follows:

The Java 5 installer for Windows can be downloaded from this location:

. Select "Java Runtime Environment 

(JRE) 5.0 Update xx" (xx= latest revision number) from that page.

When you install the JRE you can decide to install the java plug-ins or not. If your browsers are used 
to launch older versions of CTC which require certain versions of Java plug-ins, it is not 
recommended to install the Java 5 plug-ins (unless this plug-in version is required for other 
purposes).
