Migrating a DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC to an
S8700-Series Media Server with IP-PNC
Note:
Note: Once you complete the migration to fiber-PNC, you can convert to IP-PNC. See
Converting PNs to IP-PNC
on page 1041.
Use these procedures to migrate from an existing DEFINITY Server CSI in a Compact Modular
Cabinet (CMC) system to the Avaya S8700-Series Media Server with IP-port network
connectivity (PNC). You can only migrate a CSI in a CMC to an Avaya S8700-Series IP-PNC
configuration.
To migrate an existing DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC, you use one TN2312BP IPSI circuit
pack to control the one port network (PN). You must remove the TN2182 Tone Clock circuit
pack and install an IPSI circuit pack in the A position. You also must remove the processor
circuit pack.
This migration affects service.
Basic migration steps
To migrate from DEFINITY platforms, you must:
● Install the media servers. If Avaya supplies an Ethernet switch and an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS), you also must install the switch and the UPS in the in the 4-post,
19-inch rack. For more information, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya
S8700-Series Media Server (555-245-703).
● 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 postmigration administration
