ADD A SECOND NETWORK ELEMENT TO AN IN-SERVICE STAND-ALONE

TERMINAL TO CREATE A RING NETWORK

Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to add a new Cellworx STN node to an in-service, Service Access Multiplexer (SAM) node or stand-alone terminal to create a two node ring. Only the second node in a network may be added using this procedure. If adding additional nodes (third, fourth, etc.) to a ring system, perform NTP-003.

1.Verify the new node is powered on. If not, perform power on

procedures at the location.

DLP-700

2.Verify the new node has the required RIC cards physically installed and fibers are connected. Refer to the Cellworx

 

Installation manual listed in the preface of this document for

 

 

card installation or use the fiber procedure to install fibers.

DLP-701

3.

Launch the Cellworx Vision GUI from the X-Terminal.

DLP-705

4.

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

5.

If adding a node to a SAM to form a ring, change the shelf type

 

 

(from a 6 to a 1) to a ring node via the thumbwheel switch on

 

 

the SC terminating EIM (TEIM). It can be located 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. Otherwise, go to

 

 

step 7.

6.Verify the RICs are installed in the SAM node and then perform a hard reset on the SCs so they will read the new shelf type. This

will be traffic affecting.

DLP-773

5.Add the Cellworx STN shelf to the standalone node. The shelf

 

IDs of the new node should have been set during installation and

 

 

recorded on the label provided on the inside of the front door

 

 

panel.

DLP-738

6.

Configure the node parameters.

NTP-006

7.

Perform acceptance tests on the new node.

NTP-011

8.

Add an expansion shelf to the new node if equipped.

NTP-005

9.

Save the NMIC database.

DLP-745

Stop! You have completed this procedure.
