element application. For specific configuration details and service property
descriptions, see the individual network element guides. For a list of the related
network element guides, see “Related publications” on page 17.
Adding a network element
To add a network element you must have NEService privileges.
1 In the System Management Console, from the configuration view, select
Network Elements > <ne_type>.
A window for the network element type appears in the work area. Existing
network elements, of this type, are indicated by a row in the window.
2 In the network element window, click Add.
3 In the Add window, enter the configuration data.
Different network element types require different configuration data. For
configuration issues and property descriptions, see the network element-
specific guides. For help with property descriptions, move the pointer over the
property name.

The Add window closes and an entry appears in the network element type
window. The network element appears in the configuration view, but it does
not have any servers or software associated with it yet.
5 In the configuration view, expand the network element so that the newly
configured element is visible, and select Instance.
The network element instance window appears in the work area.
6 Click Add to add an instance of this network element and associate the
instance with a server.
