Basic migration steps

Migrating a DEFINITY ONE/S8100 to an S8500 Media
Server
Use these procedures to migrate from an existing DEFINITY ONE/S8100 in a compact modular
cabinet (CMC) system to the Avaya S8500 Media Server with a IP-port network connectivity
(PNC) configuration. The existing systems must be standard reliability and direct connect. In all
instances, the cabinets can be reused as port networks (PNs). However, you can add a G650
Media Gateway PN if the existing system has one PN.
When you migrate an existing DEFINITY ONE/S8100 in a CMC, you use one TN2312BP IPSI
circuit pack to control the PN. You also replace the processor circuit pack with the IPSI.
This migration affects service.
Basic migration steps
To migrate from DEFINITY platforms, you must:
● Install the media server. If Avaya supplies an Ethernet switch and an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS), you also must install the switch and the UPS in the 19-inch rack. For more
information, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Servers
(555-245-701).
● Change the existing processor control cabinet/carrier to a port network
● Replace the tone clock circuit pack with the IPSI circuit pack
● Connect the media servers to the media gateways
● Enable control of the IPSIs and control to the media server
● Complete the post-migration administration
