Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
November 2001
Chapter 2 Software Installation
Running the CTC Setup Wizard
Note On PCs, the mouse pointer scheme should be set to Windows Standard (Windows 95/98) or None
(Windows NT or Windows 2000). To check the settings, choose Settings and then Control Panel from
the Windows Start menu. Double-click the Mouse option. From the Pointers tab of the Mouse
Properties dialog box, select the Windows Standard (or “none” for NT or Windows 2000) mouse
scheme. Click OK.
2.3 Running the CTC Setup Wizard
The ONS 15454 provides a setup wizard that installs the files needed to run CTC on PCs and Solaris
workstations. You can run the setup wizard from the Cisco ONS 15454 software CD or from the Cisco
ONS 15454 documentation CD. The wizard will install:
• Netscape Communicator 4.73 (Windows) or 4.76 (Solaris)
• JRE 1.3 (Windows) or JRE 1.3.0.01 (Solaris)
• Cisco ONS 15454 online documentation
• Modified java.policy file
For Solaris workstations, the JRE may require patches to run properly. You can find the patch tar file in
the Jre/Solaris directory on the CD. For information about installing the patches, see the
Jre/Solaris/Solaris.txt file on the CD. After installing the patches, if necessary, perform the “Set Up the
Environment Variable (Solaris installations only)” procedure on page 2-4 and the “Reference the JRE
(Solaris installations only)” procedure on page 2-5 to set up JRE on the workstation.
Procedure: Run the CTC Setup Wizard
Step 1 Insert the Cisco ONS 15454 Release 3.1 software or documentation CD into your computer CD drive.
If the CD directory does not automatically open, open it.
Step 2 Double-click setup.exe (Windows) or setup.bat (Solaris).
Step 3 Follow the on-screen instructions. You can choose to install all components, or select the Custom option
to install selected components.
Procedure: Set Up the Environment Variable (Solaris installations only)
Perform one of the following edit procedures. (JRE indicates the destination directory you selected for
the JRE.)
• If you are using csh, edit the .cshrc file in your home directory by adding:
setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH [JRE]/j2rel1_3_0_01/plugin/sparc/ns4
• If you are using ksh, edit the .kshrc file in your home directory by adding:
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH = [JRE]/j2rel1_3_0_01/plugin/sparc/ns4
