Transferring existing translations
For existing systems that have a magneto optical (MO) disk drive, you can connect the MO
drive to the S8700-Series Media Server. You then can use the drive to transfer the translations.
For systems that do not have a MO disk drive, you must:
1. Freeze the translations.
2. Send the translations to the STS.
3. Receive updated translation files by e-mail.
Perform this stage after you install and configure the server complex and before you convert the
PPN to a PN. Once you copy and save the translations, you can add the new IPSI translations,
ensuring that the IPSIs are set to disabled.
These tasks do not affect service. However, Avaya recommends that you complete this stage
just before you convert the PPN. If you complete this stage early in the installation process, you
increase the chance that the new translations are added to the existing DEFINITY system. This
means that the translations might be out of sync. Unless these translations are concurrently
entered into Avaya Communication Manager, they can be lost when you cutover the system.
Replacing expansion interface and maintenance circuit packs,
if necessary
In PNs that have IPSIs, you must replace the maintenance circuit pack with a TN775D
Maintenance (EPN) circuit pack. You also might need to replace the expansion interface (EI)
circuit packs. Only TN570B vintage 7 or later circuit packs work in an S8700-Series fiber-PNC
configuration.
You can complete this stage at any time before the cutover. The maintenance and the EI circuit
packs are hot swappable. Hot swappable means that you can replace the circuit packs in the
existing DEFINITY system without the need to turn off the carrier or the cabinet.
This stage affects service for duplex-reliability configurations. The PNs are out of service while
you replace the circuit packs. To save out-of-service time in high-reliability and critical-reliability
configurations, you can replace the circuit packs in only the standby carriers or cabinets.
