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. 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. 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.
