Page 818 of 910 Convert IP Trunk Cards to Voice Gateway Media Cards
553-3001-365 Standard 4.00 August 2005
Introduction
Media Card 32-port trunk cards and ITG-P 24-port trunk cards that are no
longer being used as IP Trunk cards can be converted to Voice Gateway
Media Cards running the IP Line 4.5 application.
Post-conversion
After the trunk cards have been converted to run the IP Line 4.5 application,
perform the following actions:
• manually add the converted Voice Gateway Media Cards to an
IP Telephony node
• configure the corresponding Voice Gateway TNs on the Call Server
To perform these actions using OTM 2.2, refer to “Add a Voice Gateway
Media Card to the node” on page 651.
To perform these actions using Element Manager, refer to “Add a Voice
Gateway Media Card to the node” on page 591.
Note: ITG Trunk 2.x nodes that contain Media Cards must be upgraded
to IP Trunk 3.0x and rebooted. This is necessary to enable OTM 2.2 to
transmit the IP Line 4.5 application to the trunk cards that are to be
converted.

Before you begin

Before beginning the conversion procedure, ensure that all IP Trunk 3.0x
cards have received their IP address configuration data from the Active
Leader (Leader 0 or Leader 1) and are functioning in the role of Active
Leader, Backup Leader, or Follower.
Recommendation
Nortel recommends using the OTM 2.2 ITG ISDN trunk service (used to
manage the trunk node) to download the IP Line 4.5 application
loadware to the existing trunk cards.
