524 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
● Replace the tone clock circuit pack and Maintenance circuit pack with an IP Server
Interface (IPSI) circuit pack and new maintenance circuit pack, respectively
● Replace old expansion interface circuit packs with new expansion circuit packs, if
necessary
● Connect the IPSI circuit pack to the Ethernet switch on the customer network
● Assign an IP address to the IPSI circuit pack
