ADD A CELLWORX STN NODE TO AN IN-SERVICE RING NETWORK

Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to add a new Cellworx STN ring node to a ring network that has previously been configured and may currently be passing traffic. Due to the protection operation of the unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) architecture, adding a new ring node to an in-service network can be accomplished without affecting traffic or performance. Before performing this procedure, the new shelves and hardware should be installed and powered on per the instructions provided in the Cellworx STN Installation Manual 1152693. If adding a second node or multiple nodes to a standalone terminal to form a ring, you must first perform NTP-004. The procedure for adding a second network element to a stand- alone terminal or SAM is different from adding a new NE to an established ring network.

1. Launch the Cellworx Vision GUI from the X-Terminal.

DLP-705

2.If an abnormal GUI session ending occurred from operator error, time out, or other unforeseen events, it might be necessary to

free up the GUI and log back in.

DLP-778

3.Add the Cellworx STN shelves to the ring. The shelf ID switches should have been set during installation and recorded on the label provided inside the front door panel. Follow the

 

detailed instructions carefully to ensure the traffic on the ring is

 

 

not interrupted.

DLP-737

4.

Configure the node parameters.

NTP-006

5.

Refresh the network topology (layout) on the GUI screen.

DLP-718

6.Perform acceptance tests on the new nodes per local

 

requirements.

NTP-011

7.

Add expansion shelves to the new node(s) if equipped.

NTP-005

8.

Save NMIC database.

DLP-745

Stop! You have completed this procedure.
