S8700
- Thread starter defreib
- Start date
The old GR3 switch had the processor on a circuit pack in the carrier. To setup remote cabinets you needed center stage and DS1C's.
With the S8700 the processor is an external server that communicates with controler boards (IPSI) in each port network. Remote cabinets are controled via the LAN/WAN.
With S8700 you get new carriers however many of the old circuit packs are still useable in the new carriers.

Yes thats correct.
The 8300 isn't needed for remote sites but if you add an 8300 you give youself local survivability.
If you go with an 8500 you can take advantage of enterprise survivability. The 8500 can actually take control of the port networks across the system whereas the 8300 only provides survivability to the local site.
