Basic migration steps
Issue 2.1 June 2006 701
Migrating a DEFINITY Server SI in an MCC 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 MCC to the Avaya
S8700-Series Media Server with a fiber-port network connectivity (PNC) configuration.
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
Note:
Note: When this migration is complete, the terms EPN and port network (PN) can be
used synonymously.
When migrating from DEFINITY platforms:
● Install the media servers and, if Avaya supplied, the Ethernet switch(es) and
uninterruptible power supply (UPSs) 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 high or critical reliability, replace the second control carrier/cabinet with a port carrier/
cabinet when reusing MCCs
● Connect the media servers to the media gateways
● Enable control of the IPSIs, switching control to the media servers
● Install the new Communication Manager license file and the Avaya authentication file
● Complete the post-migration administration
