8.The system now attempts to boot the new NE, as indicated in step 6 of the Task Overview and the window shown in Figure 737-8. The new node should boot momentarily (dependent on the connection speed over FTP, may take a minute or more.) If the boot-up process exceeds five minutes, the user is shown another window, which prompts the user to retry or abort. Refer to Figure 737-9.Follow the instructions and select either Quit or Retry. If Quit is selected, the Add NE - Reconnect Cables window appears. Refer to Figure 737-10.Follow the instruction to return the equipment to its original physical state and select Quit, otherwise select Retry.

9.Next the Cellworx Vision software configuration window appears for the new NE and the Task Overview pointer moves to step 8. Refer to Figure 737-11.At this point the SC card(s) should show a running software image but the RICs will be blank. Follow the instructions at the top of the window to select a software image for the RICs and then hit Apply.

10.The Download Status column changes to Loading for both of the RIC cards. This process will take up to four minutes. During this process the user may select the Refresh button periodically to update the display.

Note: If the screen is refreshed during the RIC software download, the Download Status column will change to None. This is OK. The RICs will continue to boot. Once completed with the boot process, the user must select Refresh again to update the Running Software Version column.

11.Upon completion of the software download to both RICs, and the user selecting Refresh, both RICs will have a running software version displayed and the Skip button at the bottom of the screen is changed to a Continue button.

12.Select the Continue button. The system now attempts to verify connectivity, backs up the NMIC database, and discovers the new NE, indicated by the pointer on step 9 to 11 of the Task Overview window, and the discovering network message window appears as shown in Figure 737-12. If a problem is encountered during discovery, the message window shown in Figure 737-13will appear instructing the user to check fiber connections. The user may then retry the discovery or abort the entire process. A discovery verifies the physical connectivity between the nodes and should take less than ten seconds.

13.The next two windows (steps 12 and 13 of the Task Overview) direct the user to disconnect the other set of fibers between the RICs in the right slots (slot 17) of NE1 and NE2, similar to the window shown in Figure 737-6. Follow the instructions and select Next once completed.

14.Step 14 of the Task Overview instructs the user to connect the new NE (3 in this example) to the right RICs (slots 17 of each node), similar to the window shown in Figure 737-7. This connection will complete the ring connection for the outer direction through the new NE. Connect the right RICs per the instructions for the NE specified and select Next.
