Page 21: Chapter 1: Migrating Legacy Platforms To The Avaya S8700 Or S8710 Media Server
194 Migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms These procedures are for migrating from existing DEFINITY and Linux platforms to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server configuration. The S8700 or S8710 Media Server can be either a Multi-Connect configuration or an IP-Connect configuration.
Page 22: Migration Paths
However, when migrating from an S8100, the only supported method of moving translations is to freeze the translations and send them to Avaya’s Software Technical Support (STS) group. STS then returns the translation reports and translation files through email to the project manager before the migration.

Page 27 When you have finished installing the authentication file, Communication Manager will have a password for all Avaya logins, including craft. This password is unique to the customer’s media server. You can use the password the next time you log in as craft, provided you access the media server through the Services port.
Page 28: Day Of Migration
Migrating legacy platforms to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server The TN750 Announcement circuit packs are not supported in the S8700 or S8710 Media Servers. The announcements translations will come over to the S8710 or S8710; however, the circuit pack locations need to be changed to the TN2501AP Voice Announcement over LAN (VAL) circuit pack.

Page 30: Basic Migration Steps
Basic migration steps When migrating from DEFINITY platforms: Install the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Servers and, if Avaya supplied, the Ethernet switch(es), and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) in the 4-post, 19-inch rack as described in the Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 Series Media Servers (555-245-703).
Page 31 Install the Avaya S8710 Media Servers either - in a 19-inch, 4-post rack on a 2-post rack. as described in the Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700 Series Media Servers (555-245-703). - on a pullout shelf attached to a 2-post rack.
Page 32: High-Level Overview
This section applies to the S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect configuration only. Note: The migration from a DEFINITY ECS R or SI platform to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server with Avaya G650 Media Gateway (S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect configuration) may be done in stages.
Page 33: Ipsi Placement Decisions
This stage consists of the physical rack installation of the S8700 or S8710 Media Servers, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), Ethernet switches, and connecting cables. After completing the physical installation, the components are configured, the license and Avaya authentication files are installed, and the software is upgraded and patched.

High-level overview Replacing tone clocks with TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs in the expansion port networks and processor port network (optional) Some PNs receive IPSI circuit packs. The TN2312BP Internet Protocol Server Interface (IPSI-2) circuit pack takes the place of the existing TN2182 Tone Clock circuit pack and terminates control communication with the S8700 or S8710 Media Servers.
Page 36: Cutting Over To S8700 Or S8710 Media Server Control
For information on other post-migration tasks, such as clearing alarms, backing up the media servers, enabling alarm reporting, and registering the system, see Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700 Series Media Servers (03-300145) and go to the "Completing the installation administration" section.
Page 37: Migrating Translations
There is no supported method of moving translations directly to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server except for an S8100 with a Compact Modular Cabinet (CMC1) or G600 Media Gateway.

Page 59: Migrating Hardware
These procedures are for migrating the hardware from existing platforms to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server with an Avaya G650 Media Gateway. The media server can be either a Multi-Connect configuration or an IP-Connect configuration. The migration procedures differ significantly because in the IP-Connect configuration, few of the old cabinets can be reused after the migration.
Page 60: Definity Ecs R Or Si In An Mcc
Migrating an existing DEFINITY ECS R or SI to the S8700 or S8710 IP Connect configuration requires moving allowable circuit packs to an Avaya G650 Media Gateway. The MCC cannot be reused. For specific information on how to do this, see Migrating from a DEFINITY ECS R or on page 101.
Page 61: Definity Ecs Csi Or Definity One/S8100 In A Cmc
S8700 IP Migrating an existing DEFINITY ECS SI to the S8700 or S8710 IP Connect configuration requires moving allowable circuit packs to an Avaya G650 Media Gateway. The SCC cannot be reused. For specific information on how to do this, see Migrating from a DEFINITY ECS R or on page 101.
Page 62: Avaya Ip600
Avaya IP600 You can only migrate an Avaya IP600 to an Avaya S8700 or S8710 IP Connect configuration. When migrating an existing Avaya IP600, you use one TN2312BP IPSI circuit pack to control the port network. You replace the processor circuit pack with the IPSI in the cabinet in the A position.

Upgrading and administering the existing hardware The following are the rules and guidelines for placement of IPSI circuit packs. Rules: When placing an IPSI in a DS1-C-remoted port network, make sure that the non-remoted IPSI is administered first and that the IP Control field is set to y. The IPSI in the DS1-C-remoted PN does not have to be set to no.

Page 123: Using Dhcp Addressing
Postmigration administration Using DHCP addressing For the TN2312BP IPSI circuit packs to get IP addresses dynamically, you must first assign the switch ID (A through J) and the cabinet number (01 through 64) to each IPSI circuit pack. For G650 Media Gateways, a cabinet is defined as one or more media gateways connected by TDM cable, which is called a G650-rack-mount-stack.
