Supported TDM hardware

Prolog information
Several of the circuit packs required to migrate from CS 1000 or Meridian 1 to Device Adapter have two vintages - E5 and E6. These packs are identical except that E5 uses a leaded solder and E6 uses a lead-free solder. The lead-free version is still available, but the leaded version is not manufactured, so E5 or E6 can be used.
For more information, see Appendix L: Hardware requirements for migration.
The following CS 1000 TDM-to-IP hardware is required to support converting a Meridian 1 or CS 1000 to Device Adapter.
  • For IPE shelves (Meridian 1 large system, CS 1000M large system):
    • MG-XPEC: NTDW20AAE6.
    • All Extended System Monitors (XSMs) that are connected directly to the MG-XPEC must be NT8D22AEE5 or NT8D22AEE6.
      For more information about settings for the switches on the XSM, see Appendix L: Hardware requirements for migration.
    • Correct cabling and cable kits are required.
  • For cabinets and chassis (Meridian 1 Option 11, CS 1000M Option 11, Meridian 1 Option 11C Mini, CS 1000E, and MG1010):
    • MGC: NTDW60BA, NTDW60BBE5, NTDW98AAE5, NTDW98AAE6, or NTDW98AAGS.
    • DSP daughterboards:
      • MGC DSP Daughterboard 128 ports (NTDW78AAE5, NTDW78AAE6, or NTDW78AAGS).
      • MGC DSP Daughterboard 96 ports (NTDW64AAE5 or NTDW64AAGS).
      • MGC DSP Daughterboard 32 ports (NTDW62AAE5 or NTDW62AAGS).
The following TDM hardware is supported:
  • For large systems:
    • NT8D37 IPE shelves (any version).
    • In a partly or mostly TDM large system, an NT8D37 IPE shelf can be used for Fiber Remote or Carrier Remote, using a specific replacement for the XPEC to provide transport to the remote CS 1000.
      • If the NT8D37 IPE shelf is used for Carrier Remote, you must replace the T1 or E1 (Carrier Remote) with an IP network connection. The MG-XPEC does not connect to Device Adapter over T1 or E1.
      • If the NT8D37 IPE shelf is used for Fiber Remote, replace the fiber connection with an IP network connection. The infrastructure for the fiber remote may be capable of providing IP support, but IP connectivity must be established. If the fiber infrastructure allows IP over fiber, then the existing infrastructure can be used.
    • AC or DC country specific power supply for the shelf.
    • Ringing generators NT8D21 (any version; supplies AC power) or NT6D42 (any version; supplies DC power) if any analog phones are controlled by this IPE shelf:
      • Only one IPE shelf from the former CS 1000 needs to connect to the MG-XPEC.
      • All other XSMs can chain together to connect to the XSM.
        That is, XSM 1 can be part of a string of XSMs.
        • If XSM 1 connects to the MG-XPEC, then the XSM must be NT8D22AEE5 or NT8D22AEE6.
        • Otherwise, if the XSM is not connected to the MG-XPEC, it can be an older vintage.
  • For small system cabinets and chassis:
    • Option 11 and derivative cabinets and chassis:
      • All cabinets or chassis include a slot for the MGC and additional slots for line cards.
      • NTAK11 (any version) – ten slots for line cards.
        • If this cabinet is used for carrier remote or fiber remote, it can be migrated to Device Adapter. This cabinet supports MGC.
      • NTC310AAE6 – ten slots for line cards.
      • NTDK91BB – four slots for line cards.
        • The NTDK16 card in slot 4 provides a card slot 5 and 6 equivalent.
        • NTDK92 Chassis Expander – adds 4 additional slots for line cards and requires NTDK91BB.
      • NTDU14CA – four slots for line cards.
        • NTDU15CA Chassis Expander – adds 4 additional slots for line cards and requires NTDU14CA.
    • The following cabinets are not supported for Device Adapter:
      • NTDK50 Main or expansion cabinet for Carrier Remote.
        This cabinet does not support MGC.
      • NTAK12 Expansion cabinet for Carrier Remote and Fiber Remote.
        This cabinet does not support MGC.
      • Users who use NTAK12 or NTDK50 and want to retain the CS 1000 stations must migrate to an NTAK11 cabinet. Alternatively, you can replace the endpoints on the NTAK12 or NTDK50 cabinets with Avaya J-series endpoints.
  • For all systems:
    • AC or DC country specific power supply for the shelf, cabinet, or chassis.
    • Pedestals, mount kits, and other hardware.
    • Analog and digital line cards to provide signaling connections with the sets.
Device Adapter provides support for sending SNMP traps to System Manager for alarms on the MGC and MG-XPEC shelves. Specifically, Device Adapter sends XSM and PSTAT signals to System Manager. Therefore, if some event happens with PSTAT or XSM, the administrator should examine the alarm in System Manager in ServicesEventsAlarms.
