Adding new circuit packs
●
Upgrading firmware on new circuit packs.
●
Disabling PNC duplication.
●
Removing fiber administration.
●
Enabling PNC duplication.
●
Removing fiber-related hardware.
●
Administering PN synchronization.
●
Completing Post-conversion tasks
●
Changing ATM synchronization, if necessary
If you are not converting the PN that contains the ATM synchronization source, do not perform
this procedure. Continue to

Important:
Synchronization for the ATM is derived from a connection through an

ATM-connected PN. If you are not converting all ATM port networks to IP-PNC,
Avaya recommends that you do not convert the PN that contains the ATM
synchronization source. If you are converting the PN that contains the ATM
synchronization source, convert this PN last.
