# Checking the CTPView Server Connection to CTP Platforms in the Network (CTPView)

You can determine whether the CTPView server is currently able to reach one or more of the CTP platforms in your network. This is a one-time, immediate check rather than ongoing network monitoring.

## Checking Connections from the Network Monitoring Pane (CTPView)

To check the current reachability of CTP platforms:

1. In the side pane, select Network > Monitoring.

   The Network Monitoring pane is displayed.

2. Click Check Connections.

   The Check Connections to CTPs window opens and displays a list of platform groups and their members.

3. Click the name of the platform you want to check.

   You can select more than one platform by holding down the Ctrl key when you click the platform names. Alternatively, you can click Select All Hosts to select all the listed CTP platforms.

4. Click Check Connection to Selected CTPs.

   The CTPView software checks the connection to each selected CTP device in turn and displays the results.

## Checking Connections from the Node Maintenance Pane (CTPView)

You can also check CTP platform connections from the Node Maintenance pane.

1. In the side pane, select Node > Maintenance.

   The Node Maintenance pane is displayed.

2. Click Check Connection to CTP(s).

   The Check Connections to CTPs window opens and displays a list of platform groups and their members.

3. Click the name of the platform you want to check.

   You can select more than one platform by holding down the Ctrl key when you click the platform names. Alternatively, you can click Select All Hosts to select all the listed CTP platforms.

4. Click Check Connection to Selected CTPs.

   The CTPView software checks the connection to each selected CTP device in turn and displays the results.

## Displaying Previously Logged Connection Status (CTPView)

To display logs of previous connection checks:

1. In the Check Connections to CTPs window, click Show Active Log.
2. (Optional) Click Archive This Log to archive the current results summary tables.
3. (Optional) Click View All Summaries to display previously archived results summary tables.

## Checking Connections in the Remote Host Options Window (CTPView)

The CTPView software provides another way to check CTP platform connections starting from the Network Monitoring pane.

1. Perform the steps listed in Monitoring the Network with the CTPView Software (CTPView).

   Monitoring is started for the selected port or platform.

2. Click the button for a platform or port being monitored.

   The Remote Host Options window is displayed.

3. Click Check Host Connection or Check Port Connection.

   A new window displays the SSH query and response and the SNMP query and response.
