• Two UPS units
• Two IPSI circuit packs in each IPSI-connected port network
Voice and data bearer traffic between port networks is carried on a duplex network that is made up of two
Expansion Interface (EI) in each port network. The EIs are cabled with lightguide fiber to either a
duplicated Center Stage Switch (CSS) or a duplicated Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch.
See Figure 8, High- or critical-reliability configuration when sending voice bearer over CSS or ATM,
on
page 21 for an example of a critical-reliability configuration when sending voice bearer over CSS or
ATM .
Migrating to an S8700 Media Server
Migrations from the DEFINITY R, DEFINITY SI, DEFINITY CSI and S8100 Media Server are
supported to an S8700 Media Server configuration. The following describes a high-level migration from
the DEFINITY R, DEFINITY SI, DEFINITY CSI and S8100 Media Server platforms:
• DEFINITY R: (Multi-Connect only)
— All control circuit packs are removed and replaced with an IPSI (TN2312BP) circuit pack.
— The PPN control carrier must be replaced with an EPN control carrier.
— MCC1 EPN cabinets migrate to a MCC1 PNs
— Voice announcements must be on a VAL board or migrate to a VAL board.
• DEFINITY SI: (Multi-Connect only)
— All control circuit packs are removed and replaced with an IPSI (TN2312BP) circuit pack.
— SCC1-SPE cabinet is removed and replaced with an SCC1 EPN or the G650 Media
Gateway.
— SCC1 EPN cabinets migrate to a SCC1 PNs
— Voice announcements must be on a VAL board or migrate to a VAL board.
• DEFINITY CSI: (IP-Connect only)
— The CSI Media Server (TN798 or the TN2402) and the Tone Clock (TN2182) are
removed and an IPSI (TN2312BP) circuit pack is installed in slot A02.
— Voice announcements must be on a VAL board or migrate to a VAL board.
• S8100 Media Server in a G600 Media Gateway or a CMC1 Media Gateway: (IP-Connect only)
— The S8100 Media Server (TN795) is removed and replaced with an IPSI (TN2312BP)
circuit pack (slot A02).
— The Tone Detector (TN744) is removed.
— The S8100 Media Server runs Intuity Audix co-resident. In the event of a migration the
subscriber data and voice files must be retranslated to an external voice messaging
solution.
— Voice announcement must be on a VAL board or migrate to a VAL board.
