S8100 Upgrade to S8500 1

[jdeadly]

Can you reuse the 600 Cab w/IPSI inserted

nope. you will need to replace the cabinet with a G650, and you will need the TN8412 SIPI card if you are going to upgrade to an S8400, or the TN2312BP if you are going to upgrade to an S8500/S8510

yes, you can reuse G600s in an IP Connect 'network' for an S8500.

The question is, why would you want to:

The G600 does not support the I2C buss of the new TN2312AP/TN8412 IPSI/SIPI, so not much monitoring

The G600 only has 10 slots, the G650 has 14 slots

The G600 cannot have redundant power supplies, the G650's can.

The G650 is the least cost item when performing an upgrade, pretyt much everything else is more money... so why skimp on the cabinets? Just does not make too much sense.

The G600 can be used with the S8500 but can not have duplicated IPSI control since as noted above it does not support the I2C bus architecture. Depending on your $$ you might look toward migration to G450 Media Gateways instead of the G650's. Especially if you have the old TN2302v3 Media Processor board which will not support FAX/Modem pass-through. Cost depends on what cards you need. Moving to MM710 for DS1 and IP Phones can be more expensive but puts you in a better position moving forward. Cost of G450 and Media gateways can be less if you have to put in IPSI, Medpro, Clan, and new G650 cabinets. S8500 supports Processor Ethernet so unless you have some adjuncts requiring CLAN connectivity you will be okay.
