You can reuse a majority of IPE line cards and hardware from the shelves. For example, CS 1000 supports all versions of the NT5K02 Flexible Analog Line Card. If CS 1000 is using a specific version of NT5K02 Flexible Analog Line Card, then CS 1000 will be incompatible with the earlier versions of the NT5K02 Flexible Analog Line Card. Incompatibility with CS 1000 results in a corresponding incompatibility with Device Adapter.
If you experience any problem while using a specific vintage card, you can fix the problem by using a later version of the card. If you migrate the lower vintage, then the problem will remain on the card after migrating to Device Adapter. This issue potentially applies to any card or cards in the IPE shelf. However, most customers upgrade the hardware to the versions that meet their needs, and the cards in their systems should not have any issues. The cards may not be upgraded to get additional feature content, though.
For Device Adapter, you can use any version of NT8D37 IPE shelf. The existing hardware on the shelf should be sufficient for Device Adapter. but the shelf requires a compatible power equipment. The power equipment may be AC or DC powered, as applicable, and this can affect other cards and devices.
IPE shelves used for Carrier Remote and Fiber Remote have the following caveat:
  • If Carrier Remote is using the NT8D37 IPE module, you can migrate the NT8D37 IPE module to Device Adapter. You must replace the Remote Carrier Interface card with MG-XPEC.
    Ensure that you install an IP infrastructure instead of the T1 or E1 carrier links. T1 and E1 carrier links that are used in Carrier Remote IPE do not support IP.
  • If Fiber Remote is using the NT8D37 IPE module, you can migrate the NT8D37 IPE module to Device Adapter. You must replace the Fiber Controller Card with MG-XPEC.
    Ensure that you install an IP infrastructure instead of the fiber links. Fiber Remote IPE uses an optical fiber connection which may or may not support IP.
You cannot migrate trunk cards, including music and recorded announcement trunk cards, and conference resources to Device Adapter. However, the following line cards can migrate:

Card and other hardware components
Comments
NT8D21
A ringing generator for AC systems. This ringing generator is required for analog telephones. Any XSP connected directly to the MG-XPEC must be of Release E5 or E6 of the NT8D22AE Extended System Monitor (XSM) card. XSP of any release other than E5 or E6 disables the ringing generator.
NT6D42
A ringing generator for DC systems. This ringing generator is required for analog telephones. Any XSP connected directly to the MG-XPEC must be of Release E5 or E6 of the NT8D22AE Extended System Monitor (XSM) card. XSP of any release other than E5 or E6 disables the ringing generator.
Power Supply
Power supply is regionally dependent and can be AC or DC.
Other hardware components
Pedestals, mount kits, and other hardware that are already in use.
