Migrating a DEFINITY Server SI in an MCC to an S8700-Series Media Server with Fiber-PNC
714 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Saving translations
Although the migrated translations are already copied to the media server, you must save the
translations in case you need to back out of the migration.

Upgrading and administering the existing hardware
This section describes how to upgrade and administer existing PNs to prepare for a migration to
the S8710 or S8720 fiber-PNC configuration for multi carrier cabinets (MCCs). This process
consists of:
● Placing the CAT5 cables between the Ethernet switches and the PNs
● Changing out expansion interface circuit packs (if necessary)
● Changing out tone clock and maintenance circuit packs for IP Server Interfaces (IPSI) and
new maintenance circuit packs
● Connecting the IPSI circuit packs to the Ethernet switches.
● Assigning IDs or static IP addresses to the IPSI circuit packs.
You can perform these tasks while the existing system is in service. However, duplex-reliability
configurations encounter short service interruptions when the tone clock circuit pack is changed
out in IPSI-controlled PNs.
Note:
Note: If you install IPSIs in the existing PPN, you must move all the new circuit packs to
the new carrier or cabinet during the PPN conversion.
The information in this section is based on the assumption that the S8700-Series Media Servers
have the latest software release, and that the media server complex is installed, configured, and
operational.
This section covers the following tasks:
● Upgrading the hardware in each port network on page 715
● Completing circuit pack replacement on page 723
● Post-migration tasks on page 732
