Need some opinions on this. Currently have an 61C with CPIV processors rel 4.5 with 4 IPE shelves. Customer wants to go to a 1000e with the new CPPM processors rel 5.5 software. They want to move the analog and digital cards from the IPE shelves into the new Media Gateways. I am looking for ideas on how to accomplish this.

Upgrading 61C or 1000M SG to 1000E

You can do it, as long as you have slots. 4 slots per shelf 8 with expander.

Thanks, I have plenty of slots. So you are telling me that an old Tn of say 4 0 12 0 will change to a new tn in a media gateway that only goes up to slot 10? What would it change to? I have never done this so any help is appreciated. Just trying to get a picture in my mind on how I am going to move my cables from the IPE's to the MG's.
Step one. Clear out cards 5 and 6 on each existing IPE shelf by moving TN's
Step 2 -- the database will be migrated as part of the Upgrade Process. Since you are going to receive a new Security Dongle as part of the upgrade, you can do this in parallel without touching the existing system.
Step 3 -- tweak the DB in the new system as necessary. You have the existing running for stare-and-compare purposes
Step 4 -- move the cables from the IPE shelves to the new MGs on cut day.
Lots of little steps omitted, but this is a simple task.

Hi MagnaRGP
Are you sure, that the database will be migrated.
We are right now installing a new CPPM with HA, instead of our customer's old M81C. I have tried to convert the old database to the CPPM. It is possible, but all 13 PRI now reside in the same loop 252 1 0, and all the D channels are on 252 0 0. Nortel have cleaned the CPPM structure, but says that
"Option 81c release 4.5 system to 1000E release 5.0 is NOT a supported upgrade procedure because of the difference in system architecture. There is no procedure listed in the NTP." They are not happy with this, so I have to program it all over again
I'm not sure if it is because it is a M81C, maybe it works on 61C
