Pre-installation requirements
This section describes the tasks that you must complete before you start the installation. You
complete certain tasks before you go on site and other tasks at the site.
PNC license settings for S8700-series Servers
For Communication Manager Release 4.0 and later releases, the two major types of port
network connectivity, IP-PNC and fiber-PNC (also called multiconnect), are both automatically
enabled in all licenses for S8700-series Server. As a result, unlike the license settings in
previous releases, platform 8 for IP-PNC and the Internet Protocol (IP) PNC feature attribute
are no longer needed and are not available as license options. For Release 4.0 and later
releases, you always select platform 6, multiconnect, in a license for an S8700-series Server.
Preinstallation tasks to complete at the customer site
Before you start the installation, you must:
● Verify that all the required equipment is on site
● Ensure that the preinstallation team completed the preinstallation tasks
● Install the DAL2 card, if used
Verifying that all the required equipment is on site
Compare the list of items that were ordered to the contents of the boxes to verify that you have
all the equipment. Your project manager can give you an inventory list. Do not rely on the
packing slips inside the boxes for the correct information.
