- Network disconnection
- Send-PDIP inconsistency—CTC discovers a new node that does not have a SEND-PDIP setting consistent with the login node.
- Circuit deletion status—Reports when the circuit deletion process completes if you choose “Notify when complete” as described in the A278 Modify and Delete Overhead Circuits and Server Trails. The CTC Alerts window always reports circuit deletion errors.
- Conditions retrieval error
- Software download failure
You can save a notification by clicking the Save button in the CTC Alerts dialog box and navigating to the directory where you want to save the text file. By default, the CTC Alerts dialog box opens automatically. To disable automatic popup, see the A327 Configure the CTC Alerts Dialog Box for Automatic Popup. |
