Migration tasks
The information in this section is based on the assumption that the media server complex is
installed, configured, and operational.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: This migration affects service. When the PPN is turned off, the system drops all
calls. Service returns when the media server takes control of the IPSIs.
The following list describes the general migration procedures:
● Turn off the processor gracefully - pre-conversion administration
● Replace the processor circuit pack or tone clock circuit pack with an IP Server Interface
(IPSI) circuit pack
● Connect the IPSI circuit pack to the Ethernet switch on the customer network
● Assign an IP address to the IPSI circuit pack
You can reuse the translations from the existing system when you migrate to an S8500 Media
Server.
Note:
Note: You must install the new Communication Manager license file on the media
server before you make the change or the system will not run.
Perform the following tasks to convert a processor port network to a port network (CMC).
