Relocation of Port Circuit Packs
An up g rad e to Release 8 d oes not cause G2 port circuit packs to be moved and 
manually retranslated . This is bec ause a G2 universal module is always 
up g rad ed  to an EPN. So, d uring  the up g rad e, a Release 8 exp ansion c ontrol 
c arrier (with 18 availab le p ort slots) always rep lac es the G2 mod ule c ontrol 
c arrier (with no p ort slots), p rovid ing a net g ain of 18 port slots.
Usable Circuit Packs
Eac h c irc uit p ac k used  in the up g rad ed  Release 8 system must c onform to the 
minimum usab le vintag e requirements for Release 8. Those c irc uit p ac ks 
ship p ed  in the new Release 8 PPN or ship ped  loose with the new EPN eq uip ment 
should  always meet the usab le vintag e sp ec ific ations. In ad d ition, at a p resale 
site insp ec tion, the remed iation p roc ess must c hec k the vintag es of every G2 
c irc uit p ac k (inc lud ing  any CFY1 c urrent limiters) that will b e reused  in the 
up g rad ed  Release 8 and  rep lac e those c irc uit p ac ks that have unusab le 
vintag es. Refer to 
Tec hnic al Monthly, “ Referenc e Guid e for Circ uit Pac k Vintag es 
and  Chang e Notic es,”  for c urrent information ab out usab le vintag es in a Release 
8 system.
In most c onfigurations, the 2- or 3-c irc uit p ac k c omb ination of a tone g enerator 
p ac k, tone d etec tor p ac k, and /or c all c lassifier p ac k c an b e rep lac ed  with the 
TN2182 c irc uit p ac k, freeing  up  1 or 2 p ort slots.

Site Inspections
For the p urp oses of a Release 8 up g rad e, most G2 systems are already 
eq uip p ed  with the c orrec t TDM/LAN c ab les (WP-91716 L6 and  L7) and the 
c orrec t lig htwave transc eivers (9823A or 9823B). However, some G2 systems 
c ontain earlier versions of these c omp onents, and  (b ased  on a site insp ec tion) 
these old er c omponents must b e rep lac ed .
The 2 earlier versions of the TDM/LAN c ab le inc lud ed  the WP-91112 (L1 and  L2) 
and  the WP-91716 (L1 and  L2). Both of these versions had  white lab els. In 
c ontrast, the c orrec t c ab les (WP-91716 L6 and  L7) have b lue lab els. If a 
remed iation site insp ec tion reveals that the old er c ab les resid e in the system, 
rep lac e the older c ab les und er the remediation p roc ess.

Earlier versions of lig htwave transc eivers inc lud e the 4-series transc eivers (4A 
throug h 4F). These transc eivers sup p ort fiber c onnec tions up  to 7,000 feet (2134 
m) ap art; whereas the 9823A sup p orts c onnec tions up  to 5,000 feet (1524 m), 
and  the 9823B sup p orts c onnec tions up  to 25,000 feet (7620 m). A sing le mod e 
fib er transc eiver (300A) sup ports d istanc es of up  to 115,000 feet (21.7 miles, 
35 km). If the site insp ec tion reveals that the old er 4-series transc eivers resid e in 
the system, Ord er the c orrec t transc eivers ac c ording  to a sep arate PEC.
NOTE:
Using  the 300A may req uire 5 or 10 d B attenuators. Contac t your Luc ent 
Tec hnologies representative for more information.
NOTE:
The 9823A transc eiver is not a d irec t rep lac ement for the 4-series 
transc eiver (sinc e a p air of 9823A transc eivers 
c annot replace a pair of 
4-series transc eivers sup p orting  a c onnec tion of b etween 5,000 feet 
(1524 m) and  7,000 feet (2134 m)).
Power and Ground
The new multic arrier PPN c ab inet or any EPN c ab inet ad d ed  for the up g rad e c an 
b e either AC- or DC-powered . If an ad d ed  c ab inet is powered  d ifferently from the 
existing  c ab inets, the existing  c ab inets d o not have to b e c onverted  sinc e mixed  
p ower c onfig urations are allowed . However, the system’s p ower and grounding  
must b e mod ified  so that the AC-p owered c ab inets are g round ed  to the same 
sing le-p oint g round  p oint as the DC-p owered c ab inets.
If a new AC-powered cabinet is to be added, provide a separate AC receptacle 
to sup p ort the new c ab inet. This AC rec ep tac le must not b e shared  with any 
other eq uip ment and must not b e c ontrolled  by a wall switc h. For the 
c onvenienc e and safety of eq uip ment-room p ersonnel, the rec ep tac le should  not 
be located under the MDF.
NOTE:
The new AC-powered PPN for a Release 8 upgrade has different power 
req uirements than the G2 system. Refer to the 
DEFINITY Enterp rise 
Communic ations Server Release 8 System Desc rip tion Poc ket Referenc e
 
for information. 
DC Isolator
Eac h d evic e c onnec ted  to a DC-p owered c ab inet, from the async hronous EIA 
RS-232 interfac e, req uires a 116A isolator. Insert the isolator at the RS-232 
interfac e between the d evic e and  the interfac e c onnec tor to isolate g round  
b etween the system and  external ad junc ts.

Power-Failure Stations
During  routine system op eration, the g round  for the p ower-failure stations is 
d erived  from the system’s auxiliary c ab le. This g round  is d isc onnec ted  d uring 
the up g rade, thus d isabling  the p ower-failure stations. Therefore, a g round  strap  
must b e run to the p ower-failure transfer p anel. Connec t this strap  shortly after 
removing  p ower and  d isc onnec t it just b efore restoring  p ower to the system.
To minimize downtime, power-failure transfer equip ment should  b e tested  and , if 
need be, repaired before the hardware upgrade begins.
Software
If the c ustomer p lans to emulate existing  G2 translations in the up g rad ed  
Release 8, then these translations must b e c op ied  to a sp are tap e and  sent to 
Software Tec hnic al Sup port (STS) so that rep orts of the c urrent G2 translations 
and  a G3-MA d iskette with b asic  station translations c an b e g enerated . This 
p roc ess may take several d ays. STS must return the G2 rep orts and  the d iskette 
to the Projec t Manag er before the up g rad e c an b eg in. For eac h G2 p roc essor, 
retain 2 tap es (1 system tap e and  1 b ac kup  tap e) on site with the G2 system.
After the rep orts arrive, many features req uire sp ec ial attention b ec ause of 
feature d ifferenc es, sc reen c hang es, and  p otential naming  c onflic ts in the 
up g rad e p roc ess.
During  the up g rad e, the Software Sp ec ialist should  imp lement DEFINITY ECS 
Release 8 translations that are ap p rop riate for the c ustomer’s need s. For 
information to make the req uired c hang es, refer to:

Alarm Connection
The D6 c onnec tor on G2 systems had  31 alarm-monitor ap p earanc es (Unit 1 to 
Unit 31) for external eq uip ment. The AUXILIARY c onnec tor on an R8 PPN only 
has ap p earanc es for 1M (major alarm) and  1m (minor alarm). If the G2 system 
b eing  up g rad ed  used  more than 1 major or more than 1 minor alarm-monitor 
ap p earanc e, these extra ap p earanc es, they c an either b e d istrib uted  to the 
AUXILIARY c onnec tor on a DEFINITY ECS Release 8 EPN, or “ g anged ”  so that 
several external d evic es share the same ap p earanc e. The alarms c an also b e 
ac c ommod ated  b y p aralleling  them to the above c onnec tions.
NOTE:
When several external d evic es are gang ed  to the same ap p earanc e, eac h 
d evic e loses its ind ividual id entity. An alarm on a shared  ap p earanc e only 
d enotes that 1 of several d evic es rep orted  a p rob lem. Sub sequent 
maintenanc e effort is need ed  to d etermine whic h d evic e rep orted  the 
p roblem and  the nature of the p rob lem.
The c ontrol c irc uit p ac k b ehind the AUXILIARY c onnec tor d etec ts external 
alarms with a g round -d etec tor c hip . Therefore, to g ang several external 
d evic es, every d evic e must b e ab le to return a true relay g round  c losure to 
the AUXILIARY c onnec tor. Alternatives, suc h as a TTL low d river, are 
inad eq uate.
The following tab les c orrelate wall-field  terminal numb ers, c onnec tor p in 
numb ers, lead  c olors, and lead  d esig nations for the G2 D6 and  DEFINITY ECS 
Release 8 AUXILIARY c onnec tors.

System Upgrades
There are many c onfig urations of DEFINITY G2 in the field . Eac h system c an 
have a uniq ue c onfig uration. However, to simp lify Release 8 up g rad es:
nThe existing  c ommon c ontrol is always rep lac ed  b y a multic arrier PPN
nExisting  trad itional mod ules are rep lac ed  b y EPNs 
nExisting universal modules are upgraded to EPNs
A new multic arrier c ab inet would  then always serve as the PPN. If a G2 universal 
mod ule is up g rad ed  to a DEFINITY ECS Release 8 EPN, hard ware c hang es 
(inc lud ing  c arrier rep lac ement) are req uired .
