ADD A SECOND NETWORK ELEMENT TO AN 
TERMINAL TO CREATE A RING NETWORK
Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to add a new Cellworx STN node to an 
1.Verify the new node is powered on. If not, perform power on
procedures at the location.  | 
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.  | |
3.  | Launch the Cellworx Vision GUI from the   | |
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.  | |
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.  | 1152693  | 
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.  | 
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.  | |
6.  | Configure the node parameters.  | |
7.  | Perform acceptance tests on the new node.  | |
8.  | Add an expansion shelf to the new node if equipped.  | |
9.  | Save the NMIC database.  | 
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
