Basic migration steps
Issue 2.1 June 2006 651
Migrating from a DEFINITY Server SI in an SCC to an
S8700-Series Media Server with Fiber-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 SI in an single carrier
cabinet (SCC) to the Avaya S8710 or S8720 Media Server with a fiber-port network connectivity
(PNC) configuration.
But before you install the TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack, you must convert the processor port
network (PPN) to an expansion port network (EPN). This process requires that you:
● Replace the processor control carrier with an expansion control carrier
● Remove all the control circuit packs
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 4-post, 19-inch rack. For
more information, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700-Series Media
Servers (555-245-703).
● Replace the tone clock circuit pack with the IPSI circuit pack
● If this system is a high-reliability or a critical-reliability system, replace the second control
carrier or cabinet with a port carrier or cabinet if you reuse SCCs
● Connect the media servers to the media gateways
● Enable control of the IPSIs and switch control to the media server
● Install the new Communication Manager license file and the authentication file
● Complete the postmigration administration
