not permitted without written authorization.

A PC configured with the TCP/IP protocol has also another name called ”Hostname”. Its relationship with
the Computer Name is the following:

• in the TCP/IP configuration the Computer Name is assigned by default also as Hostname
• the TCP/IP IP-address can be then changed using the Network configuration > Protocols >
TCP/IP Properties

Note: In Windows 2000/Windows XP Operating system the “Host Name” coincides with the “Computer
Name” , so only the field “Computer Name” must be filled in.

The CT installation procedure reads the hostname in order to set its configuration files.
If the TCP/IP “hostname” or “Computer Name” (in Windows 2000) is changed after the CT installation,
the CT will not work any more.
In order to let the CT know the hostname/Computer Name change, the following command must be
executed:

– CTK –> Customization (refer to Figure 85. )

– DXC CTK Add On Customization (refer to Figure 86. )

This chapter helps you to start your work with the CT by answering the following questions:
not permitted without written authorization.

– How can I start–up and exit the CT?

– What are the first steps after installation of the CT?

– What are the main functionalities of the CT?

– How can I use the on–line help?

4.1 Start–up the CT

– To start–up the CT select Alcatel 1320CT from the Windows Start menu (see Figure 115. )

Figure 115. Alcatel 1320CT menu option

– Wait a few seconds until the start–up of the CT has finished and the Network Synthesis View opens.

Do not start Alcatel 1320CT twice. If the software is started twice the processes may not run
correctly. In this case close the program “Alcatel 1320CT” and start it again only once. In case
