High-level overview
Note:
Note: This section applies to migrations of non-Linux-based servers to the
S8700-Series fiber-port network connectivity (PNC) configuration only.
The migration from a DEFINITY Server R to the Avaya S8700-Series Media Server fiber-PNC
configuration can be done in stages. The order in which you complete these stages, in most
cases, depends on the available:
● resources
● personnel, and
● the amount of out-of-service time that is acceptable to the customer
The recommended process is based on several assumptions:
● The TN2312BP Internet Protocol Server Interface (IPSI) circuit packs are installed ahead
of time in the EPNs and the optional PPN.
● Most PNs that are converted from a PPN contain an IPSI, particularly for direct-connect
systems.
● The general process is the same regardless of the degree of reliability.
The high-level stages are:
● Install and configure the S8700-Series Media Server complex.
● Transfer the existing DEFINTY translations to Avaya Communication Manager that resides
on the S8700-Series Media Servers. Add new translations for the IPSI circuit packs.
● Replace the expansion interface and the maintenance circuit packs in all the existing
DEFINITY server PNs with TN570B, vintage 7 or later or TN775D circuit packs.
● (Optional) Replace tone clock circuit packs with TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs in the
designated EPNs and PPN.
● Convert the PPN to a PN.
● Cut over to S8700-Series Media Server control.
● Complete the remaining migration steps, such as enabling alarm reporting and registering
the system.
● Test the S8700-Series Media Server configuration.
