Converting a processor port network to a port network
(CMC)
NOTE:
This section applies to the S8700 IP-Connect configuration only.
NOTE:
If you want to make the system high reliability, then you cannot reuse the Compact
Modular Cabinets (CMCs). You must install Avaya G650 Media Gateways and move all
the circuit packs to the G650.
NOTE:
This section applies only to the S8700 or S8710 IP-Connect configuration.
NOTE:
The new license file should be installed on the media server before making the conversion.
There is no supported method for moving translations from the existing systems to the S8700 IP Connect
configuration. Everything must be retranslated.
This section covers the following tasks:
• Verifying hardware on page 98
• Converting the control cabinet to a port network on page 99
• Powering down the control cabinet on page 100
• Replacing the processor circuit pack on page 100
• Replacing the TN799C C-LAN circuit pack (if necessary) on page 100
• Connecting to the media server on page 101
• Postmigration administration on page 107
Verifying hardware
Make sure you have the conversion specific hardware on hand. See Table 11, Required Migration
Hardware, on page 98 for a list of required hardware.
