• Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms on page 21

Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms
These procedures are for migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms to the Avaya S8700 or
S8710 Media Server configuration. The S8700 or S8710 Media Server can be either a Multi-Connect
configuration or an IP-Connect configuration. The migration procedures differ significantly because in
the IP-Connect configuration, few of the old cabinets can be reused after the migration.
The existing DEFINITY systems that can migrate to an S8700 or S8710 are:
To a Multi-Connect configuration:
• DEFINITY ECS R in a Multicarrier Cabinet (MCC)
• DEFINITY ECS SI in a Single Carrier Cabinet (SCC) or Multicarrier Cabinet (MCC)
To an IP-Connect configuration:
• Avaya IP600 (S8100) in a G600
• DEFINITY ONE (S8100) in a Compact Modular Cabinet (CMC)
• DEFINITY ECS CSI in a CMC
• DEFINITY ECS R in an MCC (cabinet cannot be reused)
• DEFINITY ECS SI in an SCC or MCC (cabinet cannot be reused)
The existing Linux systems that can migrate to an S8700 or S8710 are:
• S8500
• S8700 IP-Connect
