re-patching
'brassage' is usually either 'mixing' or 'patching' — in the specific context given here, only the latter would be meaningful.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't consider incoming lines as being soemthing that are 'patched', since they're usually pretty much hard-wired; however, complex modern systems do tend to make greater use of patching, and perhaps especially here as it involves a hardware migration.

Note that in EN we'd be more likely to use a verb rather than this slightly awkward noun form, something more along the lines of:
...will be re-patched by...

rerouting
'patch' usually means simply sticking a cable end into a patch panel, so is a very general term....I think in the source here the meaning intended is the connection of PABX lines to a (digital) gateway (passerelle) so rerouting would be an appropriate solution, based on the fact that brassage can also mean switching.

: Since this clearly involves work on the actual physical lines, 'rerouting' is potentially misleading, since it could suggest actually physically changing the way the cables are run, which I'm sure is not the case here; whence the choice of 'rebrassage'
