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.
