Chapter 10 Migrating to an IP Telephony Network
Simple IP Network Migration Sequence
Figure 10-4 Migration Completed
Usually the transition from a conventional voice network to an IP network is made
in stages, as follows:
Step 1 Pilot stage—the IP network is introduced, and a very limited number of users are
given IP service. In this initial deployment, which often will include the telecom
or IT group, users sometimes retain their conventional phones side-by-side with
IP phones. Usually, however, they move immediately onto the new system. When
the pilot trial is stable and satisfactory for a number of weeks, it can be expanded.
Step 2 User block migration—a block of users is moved (usually over a weekend) from
the conventional voice network to the IP network. The block can be chosen as a
geographical group, a group sharing a block of directory numbers (DNs), or a
community of interest, such as the purchasing department.
Step 3 Further user block migration—the number of users moved in a block is
determined by the maximum number of users the telecom staff can move over a
weekend, and the number of weekends the telecom department is prepared to
work. In general, migration should be completed as quickly as possible.
Of course, there are many other considerations when planning a migration, such
as whether users will keep their DNs or be assigned new ones, user training,
billing systems, special features, fallback plans, and more.
