I think the title of this thread is throwing people off, it should say 'Splitting an IPE shelf across Network Groups' since the shelf is splitting and not the superloop. Quote:

From what I saw on the original MOH thread the only thing that is on group 1 of his switch are T-1s, I didn't see any place to move a card from / to that would've fixed anything.
To the original questions...
1) I've been told no by more than one person however I can't find any documentation in engineering manuals to support this. I would think that if it were a problem it would be documented somewhere in the IPE segmentation documents but if it is I couldn't find it. This morning I was able to split a controller between network groups in software without any hang ups however I didn't have enough cables to fully test it.

2) I don't really know the right way to do it since the last one I took part in ended up getting corrupted from the several 1000 sets we moved. (Not my idea) Some things to consider are if you are using a telemanagment system that relies heavily on TN information to assign a BAC i.e. Avotus. When we manually moved the stations to new TNs the BACs never updated and we lost a lot of billing info while someone had to manually modify the BAC database. I'm not familiar with any of the other management systems but I do know that it's important to keep that aspect in mind. If I had to do it again I would let the telemanagement folks do an order to out the sets and rebuild them back on the new TNs.
