Migrating a DEFINITY Server SI Direct-Connect in an
SCC to a Direct-Connect
Note:
Once you complete the migration to fiber-PNC, you can convert to IP-PNC. See
Note:
Converting PNs to IP-PNC
Use these procedures to migrate from an existing DEFINITY Server SI direct-connect in an
single carrier cabinet (SCC) system to the Avaya S8500 or S8700-Series Media Server with a
direct-connect configuration.
These procedures are for migrating direct-connect to direct-connect configurations. If you want
to change one or more port networks (PNs) to a fiber-port network connectivity (PNC)
configuration, see
The existing system uses expansion interface (EI) circuit packs to provide port network
connectivity (PNC) for one, two, or three PNs. The existing system must be standard reliability.
In all instances you can reuse the cabinets as PNs. However, you can add an EI-connected
G650 Media Gateway PN if the existing system has only one or two PNs.
To migrate an existing DEFINITY Server SI in an SCC, you use one TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack
to control from one to three PNs. Avaya recommends that you install the IPSI in the cabinet in
the A position in the existing processor port network (PPN) instead of in one of the expansion
port networks (EPNs). But before you install the IPSI, you must change the PPN to a PN:
Replace the processor control cabinet with an expansion control cabinet
●
Remove all the control circuit packs
●
This migration affects service.
Basic migration steps
To migrate from DEFINITY platforms, you must:
Install the media server. If Avaya supplies the Ethernet switch(es), and uninterruptible
●
power supplies (UPSs), you also must install the switch and the UPS in the 19-inch rack.
