Upgrading and administering the existing hardware
This section describes how to upgrade and administer existing PNs to prepare for a migration to
the S8710 or S8720 fiber-PNC configuration for both multi-carrier cabinets (MCCs) and single
carrier cabinets (SCCs). This process consists of:
Placing the CAT5 cables between the Ethernet switches and the PNs
●
Changing out expansion interface circuit packs (if necessary)
●
Changing out tone clock and maintenance circuit packs for IP Server Interfaces (IPSI) and
●
new maintenance circuit packs
Connecting the IPSI circuit packs to the Ethernet switches.
●
Assigning IDs or static IP addresses to the IPSI circuit packs.
●
You can perform these tasks while the existing system is in service. However, duplex-reliability
configurations encounter short service interruptions when the tone clock circuit pack is changed
out in IPSI-controlled PNs.
Note:
If you install IPSIs in the existing PPN, you must move all the new circuit packs to

the new carrier or cabinet during the PPN conversion.
