Chapter 5: Converting an S8300 from ICC to LSP

(Communication Manager 2.1 or later)

This chapter provides a high-level list of tasks for converting an S8300B primary controller to 
LSP mode without performing an upgrade. To complete these tasks, you will need the following 
additional documents:

Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media 
Server
, 555-234-100. To obtain this document, go to

 http://support.avaya.com

 and 

navigate to Installations, Migrations, Upgrades & Configurations; then select the 
appropriate document.

Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager03-300509.

Converting between an ICC and LSP

, which is for U.S.-based systems only. Similar 

documents for non-US systems should be available from the regional web sites.

In this scenario, an S8300B, configured as an ICC, is converted to an S8300B in LSP mode. In 
both modes, the media server is running Communication Manager release 2.1 or later and no 
software/firmware upgrade is performed. 

The tasks include:

1. Administering the primary controller for the new LSP.

2. Moving the endpoints supported by the ICC to the new primary controller.

3. Updating the DHCP server alternate controller list.

4. Updating the gateway MGC list.

5. Configuring the S8300B as an LSP.

Follow the detailed procedures in Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway 
and Avaya S8300 Media Server
, 555-234-100, Issue 8, April 2005, for most of the tasks in this 
conversion scenario.
