Planning forms that the project manager provides

The project manager should provide you with forms that contain all the information needed to
prepare for this installation. The information primarily consists of IP addresses, subnet mask
addresses, logins, passwords, people to contact, the type of system, and equipment you need
to install. Verify that the information provided by the project manager includes all the information
requested in your planning forms.

Getting the serial number of the G700, if necessary

For an upgrade of an existing G700, the existing license file can usually be reused. However, if
the customer is adding feature functionality (for example, adding BRI trunks), or if the upgrade
is between major releases (for example, 1.3 to 2.0), you will need the serial number of the
G700. To get this number, ask the customer's administrator to log in to the S8300 web page and
select View License Status from the main menu to display the serial number. The serial
number should also be on a sticker on the back of the G700 chassis but this number is
occasionally incorrect.

Checking the number of allocated ports

Release 3.0 of Communication Manager supports a maximum of 900 ports if the S8300 is a
primary controller. If the existing system has more than 900 ports allocated, then there may be a
problem with the upgrade and you need to escalate. Ask the customer to check the system for
the maximum number of ports. This can be done using the SAT command, display
system-parameters customer-options. Verify that the Maximum Ports: field is 900 or
less.

Checking the FTP server for backing up data

During the installation and upgrade procedures, you will need to back up the system data to an
FTP server. Normally, you will use an FTP server on the customer's LAN for backups.
To do this, you will need information on how to get to the backup location:
Login ID and password

IP address
●
Directory path on the FTP server
