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 or S8710 Media Server (555-245-703).
This section applies to the S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect configuration only. 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. The order in which these stages are completed, in most cases, depends on the resources available, the personnel available to perform them, and the customer’s desire to minimize downtime.
This stage consists of the physical rack installation of the S8700 or S8710 Media Servers, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), Avaya 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.
IPSI. If you have a center stage switch or ATM, you must move the EIs to positions A01 and B02 (if critical reliability). You must install and configure the media servers, transfer the translations, and upgrade the existing EPNs before performing this stage.

The Magneto Optical Server Tool (MOST) is used to transfer translation files from a Magneto Optical disk to an Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server. This tool is used only when migrating call processing translations on a DEFINITY ECS R to an Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server in a Multi-Connect configuration only.
When creating the optical disk that will be used to move translations from the source system to the S8700 or S8710 Media Server, there are specific steps that must be followed. See Upgrades and Additions for Avaya DEFINITY® Server R (555-233-115) for the specific procedures.

Migrating hardware 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.
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 SI on page 90.
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. For specific...
