2. Power on the primar y node and all previously installed secondary nodes of the VLS300.
3. Power on the secondary node being added to the VLS300.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary
(master, m) or secondary (slave, s) nod e.
4. Enter “s”.
5. At the prompt, enter the node number (next sequential node number).
The VLS300 will then run cable checks and configuration checks, then reboot automatically.
6. Once the new secondary node has finished rebooting, log on to Command View VLS.
7. Select the System tab.
8. Select Nodes from the navigation tree.
9. Select Add No d e from the task bar in the main window. This will bring up the Add Node Wizard.
10. VerifythatthenodenameintheNode Name field is the next available number that you configured
previously (Figure 13). For example, the primary node, p reviously configuredasNode0,isidentified
as Node 0 in the list of nodes on the navigation tree. The first secondary node added should be
Node 1. The next secondary node added should be Node 2.

11 . Select Finish to add the node.
12. Repea
t these steps to add nodes until all of the nodes are listed in the navigation tree.
NOTE:
Node numbering must be sequential with no gaps. Gaps in ID numbering will prevent the VLS300 fr om
recognizing any nodes with an ID after the gap. For example, if node numbering is 0, 1, 2, 4, 5,
the VLS300 will not recognize nodes 4 and 5.
