CAUTION

Service Disruption

Integrating another system with the NSP requires a thorough understanding of NSP system administration and platform requirements, and is supported only under the conditions described in this guide, the NSP Planning Guide, and the NSP Release Notice.

Such an operation must be planned, documented, and tested in advance on a trial system that is representative of the target live network. Contact NSP professional services to assess the requirements of your NSP deployment, and for information about the upgrade service, which you are strongly recommended to engage for any type of deployment.
