Converting A Processor Port Network To A Port Network; Preconversion Administration (R, Si, Csi) - Avaya S8500 Manual

Converting a processor port network to a port network

Converting a processor port network to a port network
This section assumes that the media server complex is installed, configured, and operational.
This section covers converting an existing Processor Port Network (PPN) to a Port Network (PN) for
each type of cabinet.
See the following sections for specifics:
•

Preconversion administration (R, SI, CSI)

•
Preconversion administration (S8100)
•
Converting a processor port network to a port network (MCC)
•
Converting a processor port network to a port network (SCC)
•
Converting a processor port network to a port network (CMC)
•
Converting a processor port network to a port network (IP600)
The general procedures vary slightly, depending on the existing cabinet.
•
Powering down the processor gracefully—pre-conversion administration.
•
Replacing the processor control carrier/cabinet with an expansion control carrier/cabinet (MCCs
and SCCs).
•
Replacing the tone clock and maintenance circuit packs with an IP Server Interface (IPSI) and
new maintenance circuit packs (MCCs and SCCs).
Or replacing the processor or tone clock circuit pack with an IPSI circuit pack (CMC and IP600).
•
Replacing old expansion interface circuit packs with new ones, if necessary (MCCs and SCCs)
•
Replacing the WP cables with twisted pair cables (IP600 only).
•
Connecting the IPSI circuit pack to the Ethernet switch on the customer's network.
•
Assigning an IP address to the IPSI circuit pack.
Preconversion administration (R, SI, CSI)
This section covers the following tasks:
•
Connecting to the processor
•
Verifying system status
•
Recording all busyouts
•
Note node names and IP addresses
•
Saving translations

CAUTION:
This procedure is service affecting. When the PPN is powered down, all calls are dropped.
Service returns when the media server takes control of the IPSIs.
