Setting Up the CTC Computer
Procedure: Set Up a Windows PC for Craft Connection to an ONS 15454 SDH Using Automatic Host
Detection
Note This procedure employs the ONS 15454 SDH automatic host detection to allow you to directly
connect to multiple ONS 15454 SDHs successively without reconfiguring your computer’s IP
address. However, if proxy server is not enabled on the ONS 15454 SDH, DCC-connected nodes on
different subnets will not be visible. Refer to the “Setting Up Network Information” section on
page 3-4 and the “Scenario 8: Provisioning the ONS 15454 SDH Proxy Server” section on page 4-15
for more information about the proxy server.
Step 1 Verify the operating system that is installed on your computer:
a. From the Windows Start menu, choose Settings > Control Panel.
b. On the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
c. On the General tab of the System Settings window, verify that the Windows operating system is one
of the following: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0.
Step 2 Complete the steps in Table 2-10 for the operating system installed on your PC.
Purpose Use this procedure to set up your computer for local craft connection to the
ONS 15454 SDH when:
• You are connecting to a node that resides in a secure network
employing the ONS 15454 SDH proxy server.
• You will connect to multiple ONS 15454 SDHs.
• You do not need to access a corporate LAN or use non-ONS 15454
SDH applications such as ping and trace route.
