Migrating from a DEFINITY ECS R or SI
NOTE:
This section applies to the S8700 or S8710 IP-Connect configuration only.
These procedures explain how to migrate an existing DEFINITY ECS R or SI to the Avaya S8700 or
S8710 IP Connect configuration. In this migration, you cannot reuse the existing cabinets; you must
move the reusable circuit packs to Avaya G650 Media Gateways.
At this point
• The S8700 or S8710 Media Server complex is installed, configured, and operational
• The G650 Media Gateways are installed
• Any new port circuit packs that were ordered are installed in the media gateways.
This section covers the following tasks:
• Verifying hardware on page 90
• Powering down the cabinets on page 95
• Removing the circuit packs on page 96
• Placing circuit packs into G650 Media Gateway on page 97
• Connecting trunks to PSTN on page 97
• Connecting the G650 Media Gateways to the Main Distribution Frame on page 97
• Connecting to the media server on page 97
• Postmigration administration on page 107
Verifying hardware
Make sure you have the migration specific hardware on hand. See Table 7, Required Migration
Hardware, on page 90 for a list of required hardware. Not all circuit packs can be reused in the G650
Media Gateway. Table 8, Allowable Circuit Packs and Circuit Modules,
on page 91 lists the circuit packs
that can be used with the Avaya G650 Media Gateway. Table 9, Non-Allowable Circuit packs and Circuit
Modules, on page 93 lists the circuit packs that cannot be used with the Avaya G650 Media Gateway.
In addition, at a presale site inspection, the remediation process must check the vintages of every circuit
pack that will be reused and replace those circuit packs that have unusable vintages. See the Hardware
and Software Compatibility Matrix
