Converting a processor port network to a port network
This section assumes that the media server complex is installed, configured, and operational.
This section covers converting an existing Processor Port Network (PPN) to a Port Network (PN) for
each type of cabinet.
CAUTION:
This procedure is service affecting. When the PPN is powered down, all calls are dropped.
Service returns when the media server takes control of the IPSIs.
See the following sections for specifics:
• Preconversion administration (R, SI, CSI) on page 78
• Preconversion administration (S8100) on page 80
• Converting a processor port network to a port network (MCC) on page 82 (R or SI)
• Converting a processor port network to a port network (SCC) on page 86 (SI)
• Converting a processor port network to a port network (CMC) on page 98 (CSI or S8100)
• Converting a processor port network to a port network (IP600) on page 102 (S8100).
The general procedures vary slightly, depending on the existing cabinet.
• Powering down the processor gracefully—pre-conversion administration.
• Replacing the processor control carrier/cabinet with an expansion control carrier/cabinet (MCCs
and SCCs).
• Replacing the tone clock and maintenance circuit packs with an IP Server Interface (IPSI) and
new maintenance circuit packs (MCCs and SCCs).
Or replacing the processor or tone clock circuit pack with an IPSI circuit pack (CMC and IP600).
• Replacing old expansion interface circuit packs with new ones, if necessary (MCCs and SCCs)
• Replacing the WP cables with twisted pair cables (IP600 only).
• Connecting the IPSI circuit pack to the Ethernet switch on the customer’s network.
• Assigning an IP address to the IPSI circuit pack.
Preconversion administration (R, SI, CSI)
This section covers the following tasks:
• Connecting to the processor on page 79
• Verifying system status on page 79
• Recording all busyouts on page 79
• Note node names and IP addresses on page 79
• Saving translations on page 79
