PERFORM DISCOVERY ON A NEW CELLWORX STN RING NETWORK
Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to successfully turn-up and discover a
new Cellworx STN ring network. Discover is the term used to initiate a search by the GUI to find
all ring nodes that are connected and powered up in the network. This procedure assumes the
user has gained access to and launched the Graphical User interface (GUI), and the list of NEs
and fiber fragments has been returned empty (no NE Icons displayed on the screen).
Prerequisites to system Turn-up are as follows:
• The X-Terminal must be functional and have launched the Cellworx STN GUI.
• All nodes in the network must have fibers connected, and be powered on.
• All nodes in the network must have the working SC EIM shelf address set for individual
identification (Refer to the Installation Manual listed in the preface of this document.)
Note: User navigates through the GUI menus using the mouse, or by using the Alt plus
the underlined letters in the menus and then the arrow keys to scroll up, down, or across.
Refer to the Graphical User Interface Operation in Section 2 of this document.
1. When the GUI is launched for the first time, a pop-up message informs the user to “Turn-
up Ring”. Refer to Figure 706-1. Select OK. The only user options available on the GUI
screen prior to initial turn-up are the pull down menus File − Exit, or Configuration −
Topology − Turn-Up Ring. The Help − Contact and About menus are selectable at all
times and will display the information shown in Figures 706-2 and 706-3 respectively.
Another window always appears on the GUI screen showing the tasks the software is
performing in the background. This window may be closed by selecting the close button.
2. Click the left mouse button on the Configuration pull down menu to open it.
3. Next, click the left mouse button on Topology on the pull down menu.
4. Next, click the left mouse button on the Turn-Up Ring option. User may also elect to use
the alt key options Alt+C, Alt+T, and Alt+T. Refer to Figure 706-4.
5. The Select Network Elements window appears as shown in Figure 706-5. Select the
identifiers (01 through 50) of the ring nodes only (not expansion shelves) in a sequential
order as they are physically connected around the ring. The sequence entered will be
displayed in the Order of Connectivity area of the window. If an id is entered in the wrong
sequence, the user must hit Clear and enter the entire sequence again.
6. Once the sequence is entered correctly, hit Next. A confirmation window appears with a list
of the shelf ids entered, reflecting the physical connection in the network. Refer to Figure
706-6. The last NE address entered will indicate that it is connected to the first NE entered
to form a ring network.
