Avaya S8100 Series Manual page 1043

Regardless of the combination of PNC methods, the maximum number of PNs allowed is 64.
However, since a server can support IP-PNC and fiber-PNC PNs simultaneously, the following
capacity rules apply to a configuration with both IP-PNC and fiber-PNC PNs:
With CSS, a configuration can include 2 to 44 CSS PNs, with an additional 20 IP-PNC PNs
●
With ATM, a configuration can include 64 ATM and IP-PNC PNs in any combination
●
With direct-connect, a configuration can include 2 or 3 direct-connect PNs, with 61 or 62
●
IP-PNC PNs
Note:
When you convert a system to IP-PNC, the Internet Protocol (IP) PNC? field on
Note:
the Customer Options form the license file must be set to n. If this field is set to y,
you cannot mix fiber-PNC and IP-PNC PNs or use SCC1 or MCC1 cabinets in
the final configuration. If the final system is 100% IP-PNC and the configuration
does not include SCC1 or MCC1 cabinets, this field can be set to either y or n.
Avaya recommends n.
