Converting IP-PNC port networks with simplex control to duplicated control
1182 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Procedure
To convert an IP-PNC port network from a simplex control network to a duplicated control
network, perform the following tasks:
● Installing and cabling a second Ethernet switch, if necessary on page 1182
● Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if used) on page 1183
● Enabling firewall settings, if necessary on page 1185
● Accessing the media server maintenance web interface on page 1186
● Configuring Control Network B on page 1186
● Designating the slot for the duplicated IPSI circuit pack on page 1188
● Installing the duplicated IPSI circuit pack on page 1189
● Adding control network cabling for the new circuit pack on page 1197
● Verifying the IPSI circuit packs are inserted properly on page 1197
● Programming the duplicated IPSI circuit pack on page 1197
● Starting a SAT session on page 1199
● Administering the duplicated IPSI circuit pack on the media server on page 1199
● Verifying IPSI translations on page 1200
● Upgrading IPSI firmware, if necessary on page 1200
Installing and cabling a second Ethernet switch, if necessary
If necessary, install and cable to the S8700 series Media Servers a second Ethernet switch.
This switch provides IP connections between the duplex servers and the duplicated IPSI
(TN2312BP) circuit packs. A second or alternate Ethernet switch may already be available if the
customer has designated it. However, if the control networks are dedicated (that is, not using
the customer LAN for the server-to-IPSI connection), then a second Ethernet switch, from either
Avaya or a third party, is required.
For information on installing and cabling Avaya Ethernet switches in the S8700-series
configurations, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 Series Media Server,
