TURN UP A NEW CELLWORX STN RING NETWORK

Summary: This procedure covers initial ring network turn-up. Provisioning of the ring nodes and interfaces as well as adding STN-EPS shelves to the ring nodes is covered in other NTPs. All ring nodes should be powered on and fiber continuity established between them, completing the ring architecture (see Installation Guide) before attempting to perform this procedure. Ring network turn up is originated at the GNE (Gateway Network Element) containing the NMIC cards. The NMIC card(s) in the GNE contain the proper Operating System and software from the factory, which must be initialized and loaded from the hard drive. Once the GNE is initialized, and the other ring nodes are discovered, the NMIC cards can download the required software loads to the shelf controllers in the remote ring nodes.

	Note: If adding a new node to an existing ring network, go to NTP-003.
	Note: If adding a node to an in-service stand alone terminal or Service Access
	Multiplexer (SAM) to form a ring, go to NTP-004.
	Note: If adding expansion shelves to existing nodes, go to NTP-005.
1.	Verify NMICs are inserted.
2.	Verify all shelf controllers and AICs are installed and nodes are
	powered on. If not powered, perform power on procedures.	DLP-700
3.	Verify that the GNE node, ring nodes, expansion nodes, and/or
	SAM/DSLAM nodes are properly identified by the thumbwheel
	switch settings on the SC terminating EIM (TEIM) at the rear of
	the shelf in slot 18. Refer to the Phase 3.1 Cellworx Installation
	Manual listed in the preface of this document.	1152693
	Note: If the ID switches are reset then the SC must be hard reset using the Reset buttons
	under the front hinged panel.
4.	All RIC cards should have fibers connected with one ring in a
	clockwise direction, and the other in a counter-clockwise
	direction. If fibers are not installed, install per local practices
	and connect to optical cards.	DLP-701
5.	Obtain the IP address of the NMIC. If the IP address is not set,
	connect a VT100 Terminal to the NMIC RS232 port and set the
	IP address for the GNE. Call the Customer Service number at
	the back of this manual if the address has already been set.	DLP-702

6.Connect an Ethernet cable to the NMIC Ethernet port on the

NMIC EIM (Electrical Interface Module) at the rear of the shelf. DLP-704

Note: The NMIC will boot and download slot 1 shelf controllers in each ring NE. The slot one SC in each node then downloads to each slot 18 SC.
