The general procedures vary slightly, depending on the existing cabinet.
Powering down the processor gracefully—pre-conversion administration
Replacing the processor control carrier/cabinet with an expansion control carrier/cabinet
(MCCs and SCCs)
Replacing the tone clock and maintenance circuit packs with an IP Server Interface (IPSI)
and new maintenance circuit packs (MCCs and SCCs)
Or replacing the processor or tone clock circuit pack with an IPSI circuit pack (CMC and
IP600)
Replacing old expansion interface circuit packs with new ones, if necessary (MCCs and
SCCs)
Replacing the WP cables with twisted pair cables (IP600 only)
