General Safety Precautions
Danger: Do not look into the ends of optical fibers. Exposure to invisible LASER radiation may
cause serious retinal damage or even blindness. Verify the optical source is disabled through
the use of an optical power meter before handling optical fibers.
Caution: Use caution when routing wires and cables. Avoid severe bending and routing over
sharp edges. Use grommet material when possible to avoid wear on cable insulation.
Caution: Allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends. Fibers may be
permanently damaged, or signal degradation may be experienced if fibers are bent or curved to
a radius of less than 1.5 inches (3.81 cm).
Caution: Modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any modules
connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist strap. Ensure
that all uninstalled modules are stored in anti-static packing material. When working with
modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded approved anti-static mat.
Caution: Using excessive force when seating cards and modules into the backplane may result
in physical or severe electrical damage to the backplane pins or module connectors, and if
power is applied, may result in serious electrical damage to both the modules or the backplane

1. GENERAL
This section provides information on the Cellworx Service Transport Node’s (STN)
Graphical User interface (GUI) and alarm monitoring capabilities. Information in
this document relates to the Release 3.1 design features of the Cellworx STN
system. Future revisions of this document will cover added features and
enhancements to the system and/or software.
The Cellworx STN system has been designed to accelerate the migration of
networks to support broadband services. It is an Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM)
utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies to support access and
delivery of emerging and legacy services. Through the use of simple transport
provisioning, the Cellworx STN enables broadband services on an ATM backbone
to coexist within the TDM infrastructure. A single platform is used to both deploy
new services to thousands of customers, and provide significant bandwidth savings
in existing networks. At the same time, it provides the utility and survivability that
service providers have come to expect from true Telecom-oriented SONET
products.
The Cellworx STN shelf is shown in Figure 1-1. It is available in a 19-inch or a 23inch rack mount shelf that has specific card slot assignments for the Ring Interface
Cards (RICs), Network Management Interface Cards (NMICs), and Shelf
Controller cards (SCs). The intent of specific slot locations is to maximize bus
performance and the number of working and protect pairs. The Cellworx STN can
be used as a collocated or remote Expansion node utilizing 622, 155 or T3 CRS
cards as links to a ring node to provide subscriber fan out or remote access
capabilities to a ring. Certain card slots are keyed to prevent the installation of
wrong card types into those slots. The remainder of the slots can accept any Access
Interface Card (AIC) provided the proper Electrical Interface Module (EIM) is
installed at the rear of the shelf for that AIC service type.

2. USER INTERFACES
The Network Management Interface Controller (NMIC) shown in Figure 1-2
provides a common ring and element management system platform where all
aspects of network management are performed. The NMIC houses the operating
system and application software for each node and card to provide Fault,
Configuration, Performance, and Security management functions based on TMN
principles at the Element Management Layer.
The NMIC provides an asynchronous RS-232 port for character based access
provided through a DB9 connector located under the front hinged faceplate. This
port is used to load the operating system information and IP addresses at initial
network turn up.
Figure 1-2. NMIC Craft Port IdentificationFigure 1-3. NMIC EIM Port Identifications
B.NMIC EIM RJ45 Ethernet Interface
An external Network Management System (NMS) and/or X-Terminal connection is
provided through an RJ45 10 Base-T Ethernet connection on either NMIC
Electrical Interface Module (NMIC EIM) in slot 2 or 4 at the rear of the shelf.
Refer to Figure 1-3. This connection is available only in the Gateway Network
Element (GNE) located at a Central Office or controlled environment (0-50° C)
location. It provides access to the GUI software screens for all management
1152700• Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 1 Introduction
functions, or SNMP access for Sets, Gets, Traps etc. Up to five GUI sessions may
be launched at a time. An X-Terminal may remain active while the GUI is launched
on another terminal. A user establishes a Telnet session to the NMIC to launch the
GUI. The NMIC can maintain the Telnet session after the GUI is exited, or
maintain the GUI functionality after the user terminates the Telnet session, but
once both the Telnet session is terminated and the GUI is exited, the Telnet session
must be re-established.
NMICs support 1:1 protection and provide independent Ethernet connections. Each
NMIC has a unique IP address and a shared IP address, requiring the administrator
to provision each of them on the X-Terminal. If the administrator cannot connect
using the shared IP address (NMICs are unobtainable or a no response message is
generated from a remote Telnet session connection attempt), the administrator can
reattempt the Telnet session utilizing either the working or the protection NMIC IP
addresses.
C.NMIC Serial Equipment Port
A serial port is provided on the NMIC EIM that can be used for modem access or
other types of serial equipment. This port will provide the same system access as
the Ethernet port. It has jumpers that enable the user to strap the port for DTE or
DCE depending on the serial device connected to it.
3. CELLWORX STN SYSTEM SOFTWARE
A.NMIC Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The Cellworx NMIC GUI interface provides a simple, consistent means of
interaction through menu, mouse, and keyboard driven software configuration
options. It is an executable program residing on the NMIC that a user gains access
to through an X-Terminal window from the shell command prompt. The GUI
retrieves data for the user initiated events via SNMP to the Application Core or by
accessing the information stored on its hard disk.
Once connected to the NMIC and logged on to the network, a full network view
encompassing each node in the network is displayed on the screen. An example is
shown in Figure 1-4. An arrangement of icons representing Cellworx STN nodes
reflect the network configuration (if configured) and are color-coded indicating the
current alarm state of each node. Table 1-1 describes the color codes of the icons.
The NE containing the NMICs is referred to as the Gateway Network Element
(GNE) and can be determined at a glance from the yellow text underneath it. All
other nodes will have white text.
The fiber connections shown between the nodes will appear green if there are no
fiber fragment failures. They will turn orange in the event of a fiber fragment
failure indicating a major alarm condition on the link between nodes.

GUI Screen Icon Definitions
Larger icons are used to represent the Cellworx STN shelves that have Secondary
nodes (expansion shelves called STN-EPS) connected to them. These icons are
referred to as Primary nodes and will look the same whether there are 2 or 10 STNEPS nodes connected to them. Refer to Figure 1-5. The Secondary nodes may be
collocated or reside at remote sites. When a user selects a node, it is highlighted by
a white square that surrounds it. By double clicking on one of these nodes with the
left mouse button, a new window is displayed reflecting the interconnecting
relationship between the Primary and Secondary nodes. It is at this point that the
user can determine the number of nodes involved. Refer to Figure 1-6. The Primary
node now appears as a normal size ICON and the ring network interconnections are
not displayed. To return to the ring network view, the operator clicks on the Cancel
button at the bottom of the window.

An Auto Discovery feature allows the NMIC to search for and display all nodes
connected in the network during initial system turn-up. Main menu headings are
displayed at the top of the screen (File, Configuration, Fault, Performance) and
when selected will allow the user to perform all higher level functions such as
system administration, establish end to end VP/VC connections, request
performance reports, or display network alarm summaries.
To access any node in the network, the administrator selects the direct selection
arrow tool located on the left tool bar, and then double clicks on the NE ICON to
open a shelf level GUI session. To start a craft session with the node, the user
selects the node with a single click, right click to open the pop-up menu, and select
Craft Interface. The administrator is required to enter a valid user name and
password assigned for the node to gain access to the craft menus. The shelf level
GUI is shown in Figure 1-7 below.

X-Terminal Keyboard Functions
All of the functions that can be performed through pop up menus using the mouse
can also be performed via the menu bar at the top of the screen. The menu bar
provides pull down menus under these options: File, Configuration, Fault, and
Performance.
The keyboard is used to select the menu bar items, navigate and select sub menu
items, bring up the configuration or query screens, and when necessary, to enter
alphanumeric information into the system. Keyboard operations for the GUI also
make use of the arrow keys, enter or return key, tab key, space bar, and control key.
The user must hit the Alt key along with the underlined letter of the menu item
desired (ex. Alt + F selects the File menu tree).
By entering the tab key, the operator moves the highlighted or underlined selection
to the next menu item (ex. File to Configuration.) Hitting the enter or return key
opens the menu item. The operator may now use the arrow keys to step down or up
to the desired item selection. The right arrow will bring up a sub menu if one exists,
indicated by the arrow pointing to the right beside the text in the menu list.
Manipulating the GUI Network Layout on an X-Terminal Screen
The user may redraw the layout of the network that is displayed by the GUI. This
may be performed to set a group of nodes that are co-located apart from others, to
place the nodes in a city or state map layout, or just to make use of more room on
the screen itself. By selecting a node using the select mode tool and a single click
and hold of the left mouse button, the operator can drag it to any area of the screen
and then release the mouse button. The node is now planted in its new location on
the screen and all of the connections stay intact (the operator cannot change the
physical location or inter-connections between the nodes by moving an icon into
another area of the software screen).
Once the user has redrawn the GUI screen layout, the new screen configuration
should be saved. This can be done through the menu bar under File: Save Icon
Layout, or by single clicking on the floppy disk icon on the tool bar above the work
area.
The X-Terminal used for operations and maintenance of the Cellworx STN
network can be linked through existing customer Ethernet networks using TCP/IP
over any transport layer (e.g. Frame Relay, ATM, Private Line, etc.) Refer to
Figure 1-14 for an example.
The network operator can use any workstation with a standard X-Windows
platform or a PC with X-Terminal emulation to remotely access the network,
launch the GUI, and monitor or troubleshoot the Cellworx STN ring network. The
operator can remotely connect to a node via Telnet session through the NMIC, and
use craft menus to retrieve alarm and performance information. These functions are
performed utilizing IP addresses set up for each node at turn up.
Messaging between remote nodes and the GNE NMIC is performed by targeting
the NE’s IP address. Many existing network components (BSS, ATM Switches,
frame relay switches, and routers) can also be pulled up on the same X-Terminal
for maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities.
1152700• Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 1 Introduction
A.Real-time Alarm and Trap Screens
The Cellworx NMIC provides real time alarm monitoring capabilities to an
External Management System (EMS) via SNMP traps through an Ethernet port on
the NMIC EIM. This scheme supports remote retrieval of NMIC collected data for
user manipulation and report creation via ftp using four simple file types. These
files are comma, space, or tab delimited and cover the following categories of
collected data: Alarm history, Accounting, PM data, and Network Data Collection.
The NMIC serves as an ATM domain operations interface provided on a Cellworx
STN shelf configured as a Gateway Network Element (GNE), generally located in
the CO or manned site. The NMIC can process 1.6K TFTP (Trivial FTP)/FTP
packets as well as 0.8Mbytes of data per second, serving as an FTP server for each
of the NE Shelf Controllers (SCs). The alarm history from each of the NE SC traps
is stored up to 24 hours for future queries. The NMIC sends an SNMP request to
the destined NE based on legitimate SNMP requests received from the EMS, and
discards all IP packets that are different from its IP address.
The SNMP MIB for ring management is ATM Forum network view M4 based. The
NE processes up to ten SNMP traps per second also.
GR-1248, [213] is supported. The NMIC supports the user identification,
authentication, system access control, resource access control, security log, and
security administration requirements as stated in GR-1248 [213]. The administrator
can configure the option of allowing the user to only perform SNMP get requests
and receive SNMP traps.

This section provides operation and maintenance procedures for the Cellworx Service Transport Node
(STN) for the system administrator/operator.
Operation and maintenance includes but is not limited to the following tasks:
• Performing end to end signal tests to verify system operation.
• Adding modules to an in-service chassis.
• Configuring the modules for operation (S/W configuration and download).
• Configuring the VP/VC traffic connections for operation.
• Troubleshooting alarm conditions.
• Using the GUI interface to check network and node statuses.
• Performing card/traffic level switching for maintenance, troubleshooting, or testing
purposes.
2 USING A TOP DOCUMENT
The procedures in this section are written in the Task Oriented Process (TOP) format. The TOP method of
presenting information provides step by step instructions for the successful completion of the indicated
task. To find the instructions for performing enclosure installation, module installation and initial turn up,
and installation troubleshooting tasks, refer to Figure 2-1 for the flow chart of a TOPS document or
proceed as follows:
1. Find the task to be performed in the Indexed Task List (IXL-001), or the Alphabetical
Task Index List.
2. Locate the specified director level, detail level, or trouble clearing procedure. All
procedures are in numerical order, regardless of type. The TOP procedures in this
manual are of the following four types:
a)Non-Trouble Clearing Procedure (NTP) − A director level procedure that lists
normal work items to be performed that are not trouble clearing procedures.
b)Trouble Analysis Procedure (TAP) − A director level procedure that provides step
by step instructions to locate and fix problems.
c)Detailed Level Procedure (DLP) − Detailed step by step instructions or procedures.
1152700• Issue 1 • February 2001 Section 2 Operation and Maintenance
d)Trouble Analysis Data (TAD) − A trouble clearing aid containing non-procedural
data.
3. Perform all the items in the director level procedure (NTP ‘or TAP) in the order listed
unless sent to another director level procedure. When a director level procedure is
finished, the task is completed. When more detailed information is required, the reader
will be sent to a DLP. A DLP may also direct the reader to another DLP.
Note: When a DLP is complete, return to the procedure that preceded the DLP.
Note: When sent from one DLP to another DLP, in most instances it will not be necessary to go
back to the first DLP after competing the second.
4. In some procedures, it will be necessary to verify that certain responses have occurred. If the
expected response is not observed, refer to the TAP. If additional data is required such as a
schematic diagram, line drawing, tabulated data, maintenance philosophy, or trouble clearing
strategy, the reader will be sent to a TAD.

TURN UP A NEW CELLWORX STN RING NETWORK
Summary: This procedure covers initial ring network turn-up. Provisioning of the ring nodes
and interfaces as well as adding STN-EPS shelves to the ring nodes is covered in other NTPs. All
ring nodes should be powered on and fiber continuity established between them, completing the
ring architecture (see Installation Guide) before attempting to perform this procedure. Ring
network turn up is originated at the GNE (Gateway Network Element) containing the NMIC
cards. The NMIC card(s) in the GNE contain the proper Operating System and software from the
factory, which must be initialized and loaded from the hard drive. Once the GNE is initialized,
and the other ring nodes are discovered, the NMIC cards can download the required software
loads to the shelf controllers in the remote ring nodes.
Note: If adding a new node to an existing ring network, go to NTP-003.
Note: If adding a node to an in-service stand alone terminal or Service Access
Multiplexer (SAM) to form a ring, go to NTP-004.Note: If adding expansion shelves to existing nodes, go to NTP-005.
1.Verify NMICs are inserted.
2.Verify all shelf controllers and AICs are installed and nodes are
powered on. If not powered, perform power on procedures.DLP-700
3.Verify that the GNE node, ring nodes, expansion nodes, and/or
SAM/DSLAM nodes are properly identified by the thumbwheel
switch settings on the SC terminating EIM (TEIM) 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.1152693
Note: If the ID switches are reset then the SC must be hard reset using the Reset buttons
under the front hinged panel.
4.All RIC cards should have fibers connected with one ring in a
clockwise direction, and the other in a counter-clockwise
direction. If fibers are not installed, install per local practices
and connect to optical cards.DLP-701
5.Obtain the IP address of the NMIC. If the IP address is not set,
connect a VT100 Terminal to the NMIC RS232 port and set the
IP address for the GNE. Call the Customer Service number at
the back of this manual if the address has already been set.DLP-702
6.Connect an Ethernet cable to the NMIC Ethernet port on the
NMIC EIM (Electrical Interface Module) at the rear of the shelf.DLP-704
Note: The NMIC will boot and download slot 1 shelf controllers in each ring NE. The
slot one SC in each node then downloads to each slot 18 SC.

ADD A CELLWORX STN NODE TO AN IN-SERVICE RI NG 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 standalone 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

ADD A SECOND NETWORK ELEMENT TO AN IN-SERVI CE 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

TURN UP (PROVISION) CELLWO RX STN EXPANSION SHELVES
Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to add a Cellworx STN expansion shelf
(STN-EPS) to an in-service ring node or one that has just completed the initial discovery
process.
Note: Applications using the 19-inch chassis will show card slots 1 through 18 but only
card slots 1 through 11 and 16 through 18 are programmable.
Prerequisites to this procedure are:
•Ring node must be in-service and fibers correctly installed to the expansion shelf.
•Shelf ExPansion Interface Cards (SEPICs) cards must be installed and in-service in the
ring node.
•Shelf ExPansion Interface Cards (SEPICs) must be installed in the expansion shelf.
•Expansion shelf must have shelf type set to 03 for expansion NE. This is accomplished
by the thumbwheel switch on SC TEIM in slot 18 at the rear of the shelf and should have
been set during shelf installation procedures. If shelf type is changed, SC card must be
reset using the button under the front hinged faceplate. Refer to the Installation Manual
1152693.
1.Ensure there is not a Level 1 GUI user logged onto the system.
If necessary, force the user session off using the following
procedure:DLP-778
2.Launch the Cellworx Vision GUI from the X-Terminal.DLP-705
3.Double click on the icon representing the ring node that will
have the expansion shelf (STN-EPS) added to it. This will open
a shelf level GUI window for the node.
4.Verify that the expansion shelf interfaces in the ring node are
equipped and in-service. To do this, double click on each
simulated interface card shown on the shelf level GUI display.
Equipped, in-service cards should have a green status indication
at the bottom of the faceplate on the display.
5.If the expansion shelf interface cards are not installed, refer to
the Cellworx STN Installation Manual for card installation
procedures.1152693
6.Verify the cards are configured as Shelf Expansion Interfaces
for either of the following:
155 SM/MM CRS cardsDLP-752
622 SM CRS cardsDLP-797
T3 CRS cardsDLP-753

Note: The shelf controller in slot 1 on the expansion shelf will begin to download. The
shelf controller does not need to download completely before proceeding to the next
step.
7.If using a 1+1 protection configuration, create a bi-directional
protection group at the ring NE for a working and protect pair
hosting the expansion shelf, otherwise continue.DLP-765
8.Return to the GUI main screen by hitting Close on each window
opened.
9.Add the STN-EPS shelves to the system using the Cellworx
Vision GUI.DLP-712
10.Change the system name and location to a unique value for the
expansion shelf. At this point the user may also want to properly
configure the various settings for the node. This may include
timing configuration, locking ports to remove LOS alarms,
configuring the max VC bits to greater than zero to allow VC
connections for each port, etc. NTP-006
11.If using a 1+1 configuration, create a bi-directional protection
group at the EPS for the working and protect shelf expansion
interface cards linking to the ring NE, otherwise continue.DLP-765
12.Choose the update topology button on the GUI to refresh the
screen. The NEs should display the new name of the expansion
shelf.DLP-718
13.Repeat steps 3 through 12 for each STN-EPS shelf.

PROVISION NODE PARAMETERS
Summary: This procedure outlines the steps required to assign operational and administrative
parameters within each node such as Node ID, port addresses, card configurations, etc., using the
shelf level Graphical User Interface (GUI) available with Phase 3.1 software. This procedure is
divided into the following headings:
•User must be logged into the system and have GUI launched
•Node to be provisioned must be Discovered and visible to the GUI
Note: In a 19-inch shelf, slot 12 through 15 will always show up as “grayed out” and the
last three slots will always be treated as slots 16, 17, and 18 even though there are
physically only 14 slots available.
A. SHELF PARAMETERS
1.From the GUI main window, double click on the node to be
provisioned using the left mouse button. This will launch a
session with the node producing a chassis view similar to the
one shown in Figure 006-1.

DISPLAYING STATUS AND ALARMS
Summary: This procedure details the steps required to retrieve network alarms or shelf level
alarms to isolate problems within the network. If alarms are present on the system, the Chassis
View screen can help isolate which slots are affected. A shelf status display can help the systems
administrator get a visual overview of which cards, alarms, protection groups, and cell busses are
active, equipped, or Out of Service (OOS). The user can also go to individual card screens to
obtain status information on individual card failures. These screens will give more detail on a per
card basis.
DISPLAYING ALARMS
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.Display the network alarm summary via the Cellworx Vision
GUI. Determine the NE with the highest level of alarm and
continue.DLP-713
4.Double click on the icon representing the node with the highest
level of alarm. If it is configured as a primary node having
expansion shelves (EPSs) configured off of it, a screen
resembling the one shown in Figure 007-1 will appear.

MONITORING THE NETWO RK
Summary: This procedure provides information that enables the Network Administrator to
successfully monitor a Cellworx STN network via the Cellworx Vision Graphical User Interface
(GUI). The information provided directs the user to pertinent sections and procedures within the
User’s manual. Brief functions and features of the software are provided as well as layout and
monitoring suggestions, and troubleshooting directives.
1. NETWORK LAYOUT VIEW
1.1The Cellworx Vision GUI allows the user to reposition NE icons
on the screen for custom tailored displays of individual
networks. Once NE icons are repositioned on the screen, the
Save Icon Layout procedure should be performed to retain the
new positions of the NEs, otherwise, the icons will return to the
last saved positions on the screen the next time the GUI is
launched. DLP-736
2. ICON ALARM INDICATIONS
2.1The NE icons displayed on the Cellworx Vision GUI provide at
a glance alarm indications through color changes. If a node is
operating within tolerances and thresholds set by the user (or
default), the icon will appear green (normal operation). If a node
has crossed a minor threshold or generated a minor alarm
condition, the icon color changes to yellow. Similarly, a major
alarm changes the icon to orange and a critical alarm changes
the icon to red. If an icon appears blue in color, this indicates
that the NMIC has lost communication with the node and the
fiber connection between them may also change in color
indicating a problem.
3. DIRECTIVES
A. Alarms
3.1After determining a node is in alarm and the severity of the
alarms, the user should retrieve an alarm report via the NMIC
using NTP-007. This procedure describes the steps required to
retrieve reports from the Cellworx Vision GUI, and establishing
a craft session at a node, starting with the highest level of alarm
(Critical, Major, then Minor), using the craft interface to retrieve
NE level alarm reports. For quick reference, a list of all alarm
types is provided in the Trouble Analysis Procedure at the end
of this section.

POWER UP A CELLWORX STN NODE
Summary: This procedure provides instructions for verifying the source −48 Vdc power supply.
1. Turn on the power source that will supply power to the system.
2. Use a multi-tester to measure the DC voltage at the source. When testing, place the positive
probe on the −48 V terminal and the negative probe on the COM or RTN terminal.
3. The measured voltage must be between −42.5 Vdc and −56.5 Vdc at the specified point.
Was voltage within range specified? Note the polarity.
If No, proceed to step 4.
If Yes, continue with step 5.
4. The problem is in the power supply wiring or in the −48 Vdc power supply. Isolate the
problem using local troubleshooting practices and correct as required before installing
power to the system. Repeat procedure after correcting problem.
5. Install fuses or engage the circuit breakers that supply power to the shelf. The front access
cards should illuminate. This can be verified by observing the shelf alarm indicator on the
front door panel. This will only light up if the SC cards are installed and an alarm is
present. Refer to Figure 700-1.

CONNECT FIBERS TO OPTICAL CARDS
Summary: This procedure describes the processes required to properly connect the inbound and
outbound fiber optic cables to the correct ports on the optical cards. The optical connector
configurations may vary from SC, ST, or FC fiber connectors, dependent upon the type of
equipment ordered. Optical cards include the 2488, 622, and 155 RICs and the 155 SM/MM CRS
cards. Note that on the 155 SM/MM CRS cards, there are two ports that may be utilized. If
ordered, fiber connector adapters may be changed out on the RIC and 155 SM/MM CRS cards.
The 155 MM card does not have a modular adapter.
Danger: Do not look into the ends of optical fibers. Exposure to invisible LASER
radiation may cause serious retinal damage or even blindness. Verify the optical source
is disabled through the use of an optical power meter before handling optical fibers.
Caution: Use caution when routing wires and cables. Avoid severe bending and routing
over sharp edges. Use grommet material when possible to avoid wear on cable
insulation.
Caution: Allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends. Fibers
may be permanently damaged, or signal degradation may be experienced if fibers are
bent or curved to a radius of less than 1.5 inches (3.81 cm).
Caution: Modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any
modules connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist
strap. Ensure that all uninstalled modules are stored in anti-static packing material.
When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded
approved anti-static mat.
Caution: Using excessive force when seating cards and modules into the backplane may
result in physical damage to the backplane pins or module connectors, and if power is
applied, may result in serious electrical damage to both the modules or the backplane.
A. Fiber Routing
1. Check site plans to determine the fiber connection required. The RIC cards and 155 CRS
SM/MM optical cards have modular adapters that can be changed to meet customer
applications for either FC, SC, or ST type connectors. These adapters must be ordered
separately if changes are required. The 155 CRS MM cards will be equipped per customer
requirements from the factory as should the RIC and 155 CRS SM cards. Refer to Figure
701-1 to identify fiber connector types.
2. Tag and identify the optical fibers from the source (fiber distribution panel, etc.) before
routing them to the Cellworx STN shelf (ex. 155/622, Clockwise/Counterclockwise, Slot
no., In/Out, rack no., etc.)
1152700 • Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 2 Operations and Maintenance
DLP-701
Page 2 of 10
3. Route the fiber cables to the Cellworx STN rack and to either upper side of the fiber
management tray. For management purposes, it is recommended that the receive fibers are
routed across one direction and the transmit fibers across the other direction. Refer to the
example shown in Figure 701-2.
4. Using the fiber routing flanges, dress the fibers to the respective card slots per work order.
Keep in mind the direction of traffic flow for the fibers. The slots designated for RIC
interfaces or 155 CRS expansion shelf interfaces are slots 16 and 17. Slot 16 TX port will
connect to the next node slot 16 RX port, continuing around the ring until all slot 16 cards
are connected. Slot 17 TX port will connect to the next node slot 17 RX port until all slot
17 cards are fibered together around the ring. Refer to Figure 701-3 for fibering convention.
5. Leave enough slack in the fibers to enable them to dangle about six inches down the front
of the shelf as shown in Figure 701-4. For 2488 RIC cards leave an additional four inches.
Dress excess fiber per local practices. Lay the fibers on the fiber management tray so they
will not interfere with card installation.
6. Route the remaining fibers to the respective 155 CRS equipped slots per work order. Keep
in mind the slot numbers, matching them with the tagged fibers.
7. Dress the fiber cables in along the rack using panduct or similar routing devices per
customer applications.

Page 4 of 10
10721-B
Figure 701-4. Fiber Routing
B.Fiber Connection
Note: DO NOT LOOK INTO THE ENDS OF ANY FIBER OPTIC CABLES.
8. If the cards are fully seated into the Cellworx STN backplane, disengage them by pulling
back the ejector ears on the upper and lower ends of the card faceplate. See Figure 701-5.
Back the card partially out just enough to expose the fiber connections as shown in Figure
701-6. Be careful not to pull the card out too far allowing it to dislodge from the shelf and
fall to the floor.
9. Clean the fiber connectors per the instructions provided in section C of this proceedure.
10. Connect the fibers to the optical connectors using Figure 701-6 as reference for RIC cards,
and Figure 701-7 for 155 SM/MM CRS cards, noting the inbound and outbound directions
of the fibers.
11. Once the fibers are connected, route them up through the fiber clip equipped at the top of
the faceplate as shown in Figure 701-6 or 701-7. The fiber clip is identified in Figure 701-8.
12. Seat the card into the backplane by sliding it into the card cage until the ejector ears catch
the shelf trough. Fully seat the card by pressing the ejector ears towards the faceplate until
they lock into place. Do not force the cards into the backplane. If excessive resistance isfelt, remove the card and check for obstructions and proper alignment in card guides.
Once card is seated, give a firm push to insure good contact with the backplane.

DLP-701
Page 5 of 10
13. If power is applied and the database already exists on the NMIC, the optical card will boot.
Once completed booting, the Port LED should turn green indicating it is receiving a good
input signal. If the LED remains red, it indicates a Loss of Signal is present. In this case, go
back to step 3 and recheck the input and output connections of the fibers. If they are
correct, check the far end source. Determine and fix the problem before continuing.
14. If an optical power meter indicates a signal is present on the fiber, and it meets the input
signal specification of the card, clean the module fiber connector to ensure there is no
debris on the fiber itself. If the card still fails to acknowledge the input signal, it may be
defective. Verify the inbound fiber signal using another optical card. Refer to the Apps and
Engineering Phase 3.1 manual listed in the preface of this document for specifications.
C. Cleaning and Mating Instructions for Fiber Optic Connectors and Adapters
Note: Cleanliness will affect the performance of an optical fiber system. Perform the following
procedures prior to installation. Clean all connectors, adapters, and attenuators before making
any connections. Check local practices for approved cleaning methods and materials. The
following cleaning materials are recommended and may form part of your cleaning kit:
• Lint-free laboratory wipes
• Isopropyl alcohol in pressurized dispenser
• Lint-free adapter cleaning tips
• Clean, dry, oil-free compressed air
• Fiber cleaning reel
• Fiber scope
Warning: Handle, use, and dispose of chemicals in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
Note: When using canned compressed air, clear the nozzle with a short air blast before
blowing any parts clean. Do not shake the compressed air can. Keep the can level while
using to prevent liquid in the can from entering the air stream.
Note: the use of these cleaning products does not guarantee a clean connector. A fiber
scope should be used to ensure that the connector tip is lint free.

CONNECT VT1OO TERMINAL TO NMIC RS232 PORT
AND MODIFY NMIC IP ADDRESS
Summary: This procedure describes making the connection from a VT100 terminal (or PC with
VT emulating software) to the NMIC RS232 port, and setting the IP address. The craft connector
wiring convention is also covered in this DLP. The NMIC craft port is only used during initial
setup of the NMIC to initialize the environment and enable Graphical User Interface (GUI) or
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) capabilities from a Network Management
System (NMS). The IP is the target address for NMS access to the system information. The IP
address should be assigned by the Network Engineer and programmed into the Cellworx STN by
the user.
The NMICs are a PowerPC workstation running Linux software and are shipped with a
temporary physical IP address of 155.226.39.28 which may be used to initially communicate
with the NMIC. The USER however must modify the IP address before using the Cellworx
system. A brief overview of the IP Address implementation in Cellworx, the process of changing
the IP address, and the process of displaying the Cellworx Graphical User Interface is described
in this procedure. If the NMIC status LED is blinking red, the network information has not yet
been configured.
If the IP addresses are not listed in the installation work order or project book, consult with your
company’s corporate Networking Administration for policies and acquisition of suitable IP
addresses. Companies can create their own IP networks without any relationship to the public IP
network. This may be desirable since the STN would be set on a private IP network and not on
the public IP network. If these IP addresses are never intended to communicate with the outside
world, the assignment of an IP address is arbitrary. For sanity reasons, pick an address using the
following blocks that are specified as "internal network".
• 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, (except 192.168.88.0 and 192.168.90.0 which are
internal to the ring system. Refer to the /etc/hosts file for listings)
Note: This procedure assumes the NMIC is installed in the correct slots within the GNE
shelf and has power applied.
Caution: Modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling any
modules connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist
strap. Ensure that all un-installed modules are stored in anti-static packing material.
When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded
approved anti-static mat.
1. Obtain access to a VT100 terminal, or a PC with VT emulation software, at GNE location.
Verify the connector pin out per the NMIC Craft port pin out information shown in Figure
1152700 • Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 2 Operations and Maintenance
DLP-702

2. Open the lower hinged faceplate of the working NMIC card in slots 2-3, as shown in Figure
702-2, and locate the DB9 craft connector.
3. Plug the craft cable into the NMIC card craft port and hit return to get the login prompt.
1. MODIFYING THE NMIC IP ADDRESS
4. The NMIC must have its IP address configured to a valid IP address compatible with the
local network. This will enable the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to be displayed either
on a networked PC operating as an X-server or on a workstation. A single NMIC requires
the use of a unique IP address and an additional IP address shared by both NMICs, referred
to as the Active IP address. A pair of NMICs (working and protect) require the use of 3 IP
addresses. The Active IP address must be configured the same on both NMICs to allow it to
float between the two depending on which one is active. The active NMIC will respond to
both its own IP address and the Active IP address. The stand-by NMIC will only respond to
its own IP address. By using this floating Active IP address the user can communicate with
the Cellworx system using a single IP address regardless of which NMIC is active. Refer to
Table 702-1 for details on the required IP addresses on a single NMIC, and Table 702-2 for
a working /protect NMIC. If a NMIC is replaced, the replacement must match the setup of
the one being replaced.
Table 702-1. NMIC IP Address Requirements
SINGLE NMICIP ADDRESS AIP ADDRESS BACTIVE IP ADDRESS
NMIC (NMIC A)XX
Table 702-2. NMIC IP Address Requirements
WORKING/PROTECT NMICIP ADDRESS AIP ADDRESS BACTIVE IP ADDRESS
NMIC AXX
NMIC BXX
2. CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS OF A NMIC:
5. To change either the NMIC IP address or the Active IP address for that NMIC, login to it
either via telnet or though the RS-232 front panel console port. Upon initial shipment the
user should perform login via the “root” userid. There is no password.
6. The user will see a [root@nmicx (x = 2 or 4)] prompt. The status LED on the NMIC should
turn amber before continuing. This may take two to three minutes. Execute a “killall –9
psm” command on the NMIC to stop the NMIC Cellworx processes. If the NMIC has
already reached a “double green” LED condition, execute a “killall psm nmic” command.

7. The last two text lines must be removed from the /etc/hosts file. This step has already been
performed before NMIC shipment. If this is the first time the IP address is being changed,
skip this entire step and proceed to step 8. If the IP address has been changed previously,
continue with the following steps.
a. On the NMIC, type “cd /etc” to go to the etc directory.
b. Make a copy of the hosts file for backup by typing “cp hosts hosts.backup”.
c. Type in “export TERM=vt100”.
d. Using the vi editor on the NMIC edit the hosts file. To activate the vi editor
with this file type “vi hosts”.
e. In the editor, go to the bottom of the file by holding down the shift key and
typing g (shift+g).
f. The last two text lines of this file must be deleted. The keyword to look for is
“EactiveNMIC” in the last line. The two lines will look similar to the
following:
155.226.39.28 WS03928
155.226.39.27 EactiveNmic
g. To delete these last two lines, and type “2dd”.
h. Save the file by typing “:x” in the editor followed by an enter.
8. Type “cd /sbin” to go to the sbin directory.
Note: : The user should make a backup of the /etc/hosts if not already done.
9. Type “./cw_netcfg” to execute the cw_netcfg script. This script will prompt the user to
enter various IP addresses and IP masks to be changed as defined in Table 702-3.
Note: DO NOT USE THE BACKSPACE KEY TO EDIT ON THE COM MAND LINE
WHEN ENTERING INFORMATION. Doing so may insert non-printable characters in
the IP addresses being entered resulting in a bad configuration. Use the Ctrl+C exit out
and restart to correct mistakes.

will be prompted to change the root password. If the password does not need to be changed
just enter the current one; otherwise enter a new root password.
Note: If you make a mistake, you may type CTRL-C and restart at step 9.
11. Reboot the NMIC by typing “shutdown –r now” on the NMIC terminal command line. The
NMIC will reboot and the new IP addresses will take effect.
3.BRINGING UP THE CELLWORX GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE.
Note: A user can display the Cellworx Graphical User Interface on either a PC or a
workstation. To display the Cellworx Graphical User Interface on a PC, the user must
have an X window emulation package, such as Exceed, installed and activated.
12. Set up the personal computer sub-network to match the NMIC sub-network IP address
structure and then reboot the computer.
13. Verify the IP address set on the NMIC using a “ping” command to both NMIC IP addresses
by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 255 or less) to ensure both EIMs are operational.
The pings should display on the screen. If the ping delays returning a response and times
out, check Ethernet connection cabling and also verify the correct NMIC IP address was
entered.
14. Establish a Telnet session to the active NMIC using the customer defined IP address set in
DLP-702 (or set up a connection name on X-Terminal for that NMIC and select it.)

16. The user needs to configure the NMIC to launch the display to the proper machine. To do
this enter “export DISPLAY=X.X.X.X:0.0” on the NMIC command line. Here X.X.X.X is
the valid IP address of the PC or workstation that is to receive the display.
17. Type “CellworxVision” at the NMIC prompt to launch the GUI. The display should appear
on the designated PC or workstation. If the NMIC gives a message indicating it is unable to
launch the display make sure the workstation in use is configured to accept displays from
other machines. This is done by typing “xhost +” on the command line of the workstation
(not the NMIC).
Stop! You have completed this procedure.

LOGON TO REMOTE NODE CRAFT SESSION
VIA TELNET FROM GUI
Summary: This procedure instructs the operator in the steps required to logon to an NE through
the craft session from the NMIC Cellworx Vision GUI. Once logged onto the NE craft screen,
the operator can provision all cards, ports, and alarms for that shelf. The provisioning
information is set on the shelf controllers and backed up onto the NMIC immediately following
the change. Prerequisites to this procedure requires that the operator must first have launched the
GUI that controls the node targeted for craft interface session, and the node must have been
discovered and is visible to the NMIC.
1. To establish a craft session to a node from the GUI, select the Direct Selection tool (arrow)
on the left tool bar using the left mouse button. Next select the targeted NE and then hit the
right mouse button. A pop-up menu appears. See Figure 703-1. Select Craft Interface.
2. The targeted node responds with a logon screen prompting the operator for a user name and
password. See Figure 703-2. If this is the first time the node had been logged onto, the
default name and password should be “cellworx” and “cellworx#1”. If this is an existing
network, the defaults should have been deleted and unique name and password entered. If
you are not sure of the new user name and password for this node, check with your network
administrator.
3. The Cellworx main menu should now be displayed resembling the example shown in

CONNECT NMS OR X-TERMINAL ETHERNET CABLE TO THE NMIC EIM SNMP PORT
Summary: This procedure provides instructions for connecting an external Network
Management System (NMS) or X-Terminal to the NMIC EIM 10 Base-T Ethernet port on the
NMIC EIM at the rear of the shelf. The cable from customer monitoring equipment (X-Term,
etc.) must be equipped with an RJ45X LAN connector. The function of the 10 Base-T Ethernet
port is to provide the System Administrator with capabilities of monitoring system and network
alarms, provisioning virtual paths/connections, and performing maintenance and provisioning
functions. The connection will allow access to either NMIC using a shared IP address, or an
individual NMIC using a NMIC specific IP address.
Caution: Modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling any
modules connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist
strap. Ensure that all un-installed modules are stored in anti-static packing material.
When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded
approved anti-static mat.
1. If not already equipped and verified, equip the customer LAN cable with an RJ45X male
connector and verify the connector wiring per Figure 704-1.
2. Route the LAN cable to the lower right side of the Cellworx STN shelf (facing the rear), to
terminate at the working NMIC EIM in slot 2. Refer to Figure 704-2. If the NMIC EIM is
not installed, you must first perform the installation procedure for this module. Refer to the
Installation Manual listed in the Related Publications section in the preface of this
document, and then return to this procedure.
3. Dress in the cable leaving enough slack to reach the RJ45X jack on the EIM. Cable ties
may be used to attach the cables to the tie bar along the bottom of the air intake baffle.
Verify that enough strain relief and maintenance loop are provided.
4. Seat the RJ45X connector into the NMIC EIM RJ45X LAN jack. Verify the latch catches
by gently tugging once or twice on the cable.
5. The NMS end of the cable should then be connected to the X-terminal per local practices.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.

LAUNCH THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)
Summary: This procedure describes the processes involved to successfully logon to the system
and launch the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
1. Verify the IP address set on the NMIC using a “ping” command to both NMIC IP addresses
by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 255 or less) to ensure both EIMs are operational.
The pings should display on the screen. If the ping delays returning a response and times
out, check Ethernet connection cabling and also verify the correct NMIC IP address was
entered.
2. Establish a Telnet session to the active NMIC using the customer defined IP address set in
DLP-703 (or set up a connection name on X-Terminal for the particular NMIC and select
it.)
3. Export the display to the X-Terminal IP address using this command:
export DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0
Note: Hostname is the IP address of the workstation. To determine the IP address of the
host, see your system administrator.
5. A log on screen appears prompting the user to enter a login name and password. If this is
the first time the system has been turned up, the name should be “root”. The password is
user defined and should be the same as the one selected in DLP-703.
6. The Graphical User interface (GUI) can be launched once the connection is established by
entering “CellworxVision”. It may take a few moments for the GUI to come up. When it
does, it will request a list of NEs and fiber fragments and will display them (if they have
been discovered previously) as a network view as shown in the example in Figure 705-1. A
window appears on the GUI that indicates the tasks that the GUI is performing in the
background. This window is not needed by the user and may be closed by selecting the
Close button.
7. If performing initial turn up of a new ring network, the NE and Fiber Fragment requests
will both return empty since a discovery has not previously been requested on the new
NMIC. The system is now ready for initial turn-up. Return to NTP.

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 “Turnup 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-UpRing. 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
1152700 • Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 2 Operations and Maintenance
DLP-706
Page 2 of 11
7. Verify that the NE id sequence is correct and hit Next. If sequence is wrong hit Previous
and return to step 5.
8. The Current Status window appears as shown in Figure 706-7. If the NEs have previously
booted, the status shows “NE booted, Select software image”. See Figure 706-8. If so
double click on each NE using the left mouse button and go to step 10, otherwise, all NEs
status should read “Waiting for NE to boot”. “Waiting for all NEs to boot” is displayed at
the bottom of the window. Follow the instructions at the top of the window.
9. When each NE completes the boot process, select each NE by double clicking on it using
the left mouse button
Note: It is necessary to open the Install Software window for each NE so the NMIC can
verify the status of the RICs and the software selections to be loaded on them.
10. The Install Software Load window for the selected NE appears displaying the cards
equipped in each slot of the shelf, and the current running software versions. See Figure
706-9. If the screen is opened immediately following boot up, it is possible that the SCs
will not have had time to discover the cards in the shelf and the screen will appear empty
(except for the SCs). Select a software image for the RIC cards by selecting and holding the
right mouse button on the row of the card to be loaded. A pop-up window appears
displaying any images for that card that are stored on the NMIC.
11. Select a software version displayed in the pop-up window and release the mouse button.
The version is now listed in the Selected Software Image column on the right.
12. Repeat the software image selection for the remaining RIC card and any AIC cards that
need to be configured. Once all new images have been chosen, select Apply. SelectingApply before choosing software images brings up the instructional window shown in Figure
706-10. Selecting the Clear Selected button will reset all selected software images leaving
the last column blank. Refresh can be selected periodically to update all information in the
window. Selecting Cancel will close the window and no software versions will be changed.
13. Select Refresh periodically until the selected software image becomes the running software
image. This may take up to twenty minutes per NE dependent upon card configuration in
the shelf, number of NEs in the ring, distance between NEs, etc.
14. Once the software images have been configured successfully, the confirmation pop-up
window appears. Refer to Figure 706-11. This window appears immediately after Apply is
selected but it does not indicate that the RICs have booted. Select OK and then Cancel the
Install Software Load window.
15. The Current Status window reappears and the NE status changes to “RICs have booted, NE
eligible for discovery”. Repeat steps 10 through 16 for each NE configured, then continue
to step 17.
1152700 • Issue 1 • February 2001 • Section 2 Operations and Maintenance
DLP-706
Page 3 of 11
16. Once the last NE has gone through the Install Software Image window and all RICs have
booted successfully, the message window shown in Figure 706-12 appears. This window
informs the user that all RICs have booted and that the network is ready for discovery. The
Initiate Discovery button on the Current Status window is now enabled.
17. Select Initiate Discovery. The status for the NEs changes one at a time from “NE eligible
for discovery” to “Discovering NE”. Once the discovery process is completed on an NE,
the status changes to “NE discovered”. Refer to Figure 706-13 for an example of NE-1
completing discovery, NE-2 in process of discovery, and NE-3 awaiting discovery.
18. When the discovery is completed on all NEs, the system draws them in a ring configuration
on the screen according to their connectivity. To redraw the layout of the Icons before
saving the system drawn layout, select the arrow tool on the toolbar on the left side of the
screen, click on and drag the NEs to the desired position on the screen, and release the left
mouse button. See Figure 706-14.
19. The Icons now stay positioned in the new locations and maintain the highlighted
connection between them. This capability enables the user to group NEs that may be
collocated or separate them according to their geographical locations. The user may also
return the icons to their original positions on the screen by selecting the Configuration pull
down menu, Topology, and Revert to Saved ICON Layout or Alt+C, Alt+T and Alt+V.
Refer to Figure 706-15.
20. To save the icon layout displayed on the screen, select File and Save Icon Layout (Alt+F
and Alt+S), or use the diskette icon on the tool bar. See Figure 706-16.
21. The confirmation window appears as shown in Figure 706-17. Select OK. The newly drawn
Icon layout will remain this way each time the GUI is launched, until the layout is redrawn
and saved again.

TIME AND DATE
Summary: This procedure describes the steps required to set the system clock at the NMIC in
the Gateway Network Element (GNE). The NMIC maintains the system clock for the entire
network and supports requests from the system administrator to change the system clock. The
NMIC synchronizes every NE’s time-of-day clock to the NMIC time-of-day clock.
1. Using the left mouse button, select the Configuration pull down menu, and then select the
first item Time and Date (or hit Alt+C, and Alt+D).
2. Select either Absolute (Alt+A) or Relative (Alt+R) and go to the appropriate heading
below. Refer to Figure 707-1.
Note: Absolute allows the user to set the time and date to the absolute time specified.
This is needed for turn-up or instances when the clock is more than an hour off. Relative
allows the user to adjust the clock in seconds either forward or backwards, up to one
hour, when smaller adjustments are needed.
Absolute
3. The NMIC Absolute Time Change window appears. See Figure 707-2.
4. The currently provisioned date and time are displayed. To change any of these parameters,
use the left mouse button to select the current month, day of the week, year, hour, minute,
and second by clicking on the up or down arrows beside each data field.
5. After all selections have been made, select Apply.
6. Select Refresh to update the new date and time displayed in the window. The new time
information is automatically downloaded to each NE.
7. Select Close to return to the Cellworx Vision screen.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
