Converting some or all direct-connect port networks to IP-connect
Each IP-PNC port network must have a TN2312BP (IPSI) circuit pack and at least one media
processor circuit pack. You must add these circuit packs to each PN that does not already have
them. The media processor circuit packs can be either the TN2602AP IP Media Resource 320
or the TN2302AP IP Media Processor. The TN2602AP circuit pack provides higher capacities
and allows for future duplication of the bearer PNC.
You can install additional media processors to increase capacity. However, you can install no
more than two TN2602 circuit packs in a PN. The need for additional media processor circuit
pack depends on system configuration parameters such as the number of IP endpoints.
Note:
No other media processor circuit packs can be used for PNC duplication in

Depending on the system configuration, additional CLAN circuit packs (TN799DP) might also
be needed. CLAN circuit packs (TN799DP) are required if the system supports IP endpoints,
H.248 gateways, or other IP adjuncts. The number of CLAN circuit packs that you need
depends on system parameters such as the number of IP endpoints and the desired level of
availability.

Important:
If the final configuration mixes fiber-PNC PNs and IP-connect PNs, at least one
Important:
PN in the fiber-PNC portion of the system must have both of the following circuit
packs:
- A TN570 EI circuit pack
- Either a TN2302 or a TN2602AP media processor circuit pack
This PN acts as the "gateway port network."
Designating the slots for the new circuit packs
Note:
In older MCC1, SCC1, and G600 gateways, you might need to replace the
Note:
backplane I/O cables with the newer 100-mbps cable. This cable is provided in
the I/O cable kit. The comcode for this kit is 700234032. For more information on
how to replace the backplane cables, see
page 1075.
Designate the slot in which each new IPSI, media processor, and CLAN circuit pack is to be
installed. Each of these circuit packs requires an I/O adapter. The I/O adapter is installed on the
backplane connector that is associated with the slot in which the circuit pack is installed.

The adapters for the three types of circuit packs are different and not necessarily

interchangeable. Also, the adapters for the TN2302AP and TN2602AP media
processor circuit packs are different. Ensure that you use the adapter that
corresponds to each type of circuit pack.
