Migrating to an Avaya S8700-Series Media Server
612 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Migration paths for S8700-Series Media Servers
When you migrate to an S8700-Series Media Server with a fiber-PNC configuration, you can
use the existing translations. For a DEFINITY Server R with a magneto optical drive, use the
Magneto Optical to S87x0 Translations (MOST) tool to copy the translations to the S8710 Media
Server. For a DEFINITY Server R without an optical drive or a DEFINITY Server SI, you must:
1. Freeze the translations.
2. Send the translations to the Avaya Software Technical Support (STS) group.
STS then returns the translation files on a PCMCIA flash card or compact flash card and
translation reports before the migration. For forms and more information, contact the STS
scheduling desk at 720-444-9418.
When you migrate from an S8100, the only supported method of moving translations is to:
1. Freeze the translations.
2. Send the translations to the Avaya Software Technical Support (STS) group.
STS then returns the translation reports and translation files through e-mail to the project
manager before the migration. For forms and more information, contact the STS scheduling
desk at 720-444-9418.
Migrating hardware
The information in this section is based on the assumption that the media server complex is
installed, configured, and operational.
DEFINITY Server R or SI in an MCC
The migration process depends on whether the migration is to an S8700-Series with a CSS/
ATM or direct-connect configuration.
S8700 MC:
If all the port networks (PNs) are connected through a CSS or ATM, Avaya recommends that
you first replace the following components before you start the migration:
● Tone clocks with TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs in the processor port network (PPN)
● Expansion port networks (EPNs)
