Connecting the media server cables and the IPSI cables to the
Ethernet switch
Note:
Note: For a connectivity guide, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya
S8700-Series Media Server (555-245-703).
Each TN2312BP IP Server Interface (IPSI) circuit pack must have a CAT5 Ethernet cable that
connects back to the Ethernet switch. Cables for IPSIs that are located in PN carrier A are
green. Cables for IPSIs that are located in PN carrier B (high or critical reliability) are red.
In duplex configurations, each media server is connected to the Ethernet switch or switches that
comprise control network A (CNA) (green cable).
In high-reliability and critical-reliability configurations, each media server is connected to the
Ethernet switch or switches that comprise control network B (CNB) (red cable).
Upgrading the hardware in each port network
In IPSI-controlled PNs, you must replace the existing tone clock and the maintenance circuit
packs with a TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack and TN775D or later Maintenance circuit pack,
respectively. You also must replace the TN570 (R) Expansion Interface circuit packs with
TN570B vintage 7 or later circuit packs.
