Migrating a DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC to an
S8500 Media Server
Use these procedures to migrate from an existing DEFINITY Server CSI in a compact modular
cabinet (CMC) system to the Avaya S8500 Media Server with an IP-port network connectivity
(PNC) configuration. The existing systems must be standard reliability. In all instances, the
cabinets can be reused as port networks. However, you can add a G650 Media Gateway port
network if the existing system has a port network.
To migrate an existing DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC, you use one TN2312BP IPSI circuit
pack to control the one port network (PN). You must remove the TN2182 Tone Clock circuit
pack and install an IPSI circuit pack in the A position. You also must remove the processor
circuit pack.
This migration affects service.
Basic migration steps
To migrate from DEFINITY platforms, you must:
Install the media server. If Avaya supplies an Ethernet switch and an uninterruptible power
●
supply (UPS), you also must install the switch and the UPS in the 19-inch rack. For more
information, see Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Servers
(555-245-701).
Replace the tone clock circuit pack with the IPSI circuit pack
●
Connect the media servers to the media gateways
●
Enable control of the IPSIs and switch control to the media server
●
Complete the postmigration administration
