Combined IP and fiber Port Network Connectivity

Communication Manager Release 3.0 enables the S8700-series and S8500 Servers to support configurations that combine IP-connected port networks (IP-PNC) with fiber-connected port networks (fiber-PNC).

Note:

Fiber-PNC configurations include direct-connected, CSS-connected, and ATM-connected port networks (PNs).

Additionally, in combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC configurations with the S8700-series Server, customers have the option of either single or duplicated control networks.

Combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC configurations allow the following:

●Add IP-connected PNs to a fiber-PNC configuration using the simpler, less costly connections over the customer LAN.

●Convert and consolidate, in an easy cost-effective way, remote standalone DEFINITY servers (SI, CSI, or S8100) and their PNs into a single network of PNs controlled by, and administered with, one server.

●Configure, within the single footprint of an MCC1 Media Gateway, multiple port networks using IP-PNC, fiber-PNC, or a variety of combinations of the two. In this way, customers have tremendous flexibility in configuring MCC1 Media Gateways to balance reliability, call capacities, and feature richness.

●Configure reliability into a network in a more cost-effective, flexible way. Duplication of control can be configured based on the criticality of the location or the needs of users connected to a particular PN.

Combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC configurations support the following platforms:

●S8500 and S8500B servers in both IP-PNC and direct-connect configurations with CMC1, MCC1, SCC1 and G650 Media Gateways

●S8700-series Server pairs in IP-PNC and direct-connect configurations with CMC1, MCC1, SCC1 and G650 Media Gateways

●S8700-series Server pairs in both IP-PNC and fiber-PNC with either CSS or ATM configurations and CMC1, MCC1, SCC1 and G650 Media Gateways

Note:

A single combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC system cannot have a mixture of connection types in the fiber-PNC segment. The port networks in the fiber-PNC segment must be all direct-connected or all CSS-connected or all ATM-connected.
