Migrating a DEFINITY Server SI in an MCC to an S8700-Series Media Server with Fiber-PNC
706 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
For more information, see Migration paths on page 702.
When you are migrating from a DEFINITY system, complete the following additional tasks
before starting the migration:
9
Task Description
Find out which adapters
and cables are reusable.
The following items are not reusable:
● 982LS Current Limiter (CURL) for an SI. You
must replace with larger CFY1B CURL.
● C-LAN 259A adapter. You must use adapter for
IP Media Processor for 100 Mbps speed.
● CAT3 cable used with C-LAN. You must use
CAT5 or better for 100 Mbps speed.
Replace any TN775/B/C
maintenance circuit packs.
Replace with TN775D circuit packs in any EPNs that
have an IPSI.
About 2 weeks before the
migration, freeze the
translations.
● Collect the
translations locally by
a spare flash card.
For more information on where and how to send the
translations, contact the STS scheduling desk at
720-444-9418.
STS then updates the translations to the latest
version. This process can take 2 weeks. STS returns
the translation reports and translation files to the
project manager by e-mail who sends them to the
technical support representative.
Verify that a copy of the existing translations exists so
they can be reentered later.
Verify that you have the
appropriate logins and
passwords to access the
media servers and server
complex components.
When you have finished installing the authentication
file, Communication Manager has a password for all
Avaya logins, including craft. This password is unique
to the media server of the customer. You can use the
password the next time you log in as craft, provided
you access the media server through the Services
port. You do not need an ASG challenge/response to
log in this way, even though every other means of craft
access still requires an ASG challenge/response.
This unique craft password remains valid until it is
changed by installing a new authentication file.
Copy the translation file
from STS to a directory on
the Services laptop.
Files usually are in the 1-4 megabytes range.
