Converting a processor port network to a port network (MCC)
Migrating to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server 83
June 2004
Removing the processor port network control
carrier(s)
1 Label both ends of all the cables being removed from the control carriers. They may be reused.
CAUTION:
All active calls processed through this port network are dropped when the cabinet is
powered down. All trunks and lines within this cabinet are down until the cabinet is
powered up and the media server controls the port network.
CAUTION:
Do not power down the Survivable Remote Expansion Port Networks.
NOTE:
If the system is equipped with Power Failure Transfer (PFT) units using ground start
trunks, you must install a temporary ground wire to the PFT units to allow them to operate
properly when the cabinet is powered down. The AUX cable, that normally supplies the
ground, will be disconnected.
2 Connect a 10 AWG (#25) (2.6 mm
2
) wire to pin 49 of the connecting block associated with the
power failure transfer panel.
3 Route the opposite end of the wire to an approved ground and connect.
NOTE:
You can cut over to having the media server control the other PNs at this time. Only
cutover at this time if you are not installing IPSI(s) in the PPN or the customer wants to
minimize down time. To cutover, go to Enabling control of IPSI(s)
on page 113.
4 Power down the cabinet.
5 Disconnect the cables on the front of carrier A.
• Power
• ATM Fiber (optional)
6 Remove all circuit packs from carrier A and place in an antistatic carrier.
7 Remove power supplies from carrier A.
8 Remove faceplate from carrier A
9 Disconnect the cables on the back of carrier A.
• TDM/LAN (reused)
• ICC-A, -B (Replaced)
• AUX Cable (reused)
• 9-pin D subminiature plug on right side of cabinet from the P1 connector on carrier
(reused)
10 Remove the Current Limiter (CURL) unit from the back of the carrier. (Can be reused only if R.)
11 Remove all carrier grounds.
12 Remove carrier A from the cabinet.
13 Repeat for carrier B (H/C only).
