Conversion - Avaya 1000 Installation And Commissioning Manual

You can convert the following Small Systems to a Branch Office:
• single-cabinet Meridian 1 Opt 11C Cabinet
• single-chassis Meridian 1 Opt 11C Chassis with or without a chassis expander
• single-cabinet CS1000M Cabinet
• single-chassis CS1000M Chassis, with or without a chassis expander
You can convert only single-cabinet and single-chassis systems (with or without a chassis
expander). You must first reduce multiple-cabinet and multiple-chassis Small Systems to single
cabinets or chassis.
To function as a Branch Office, the Small System must be equipped with the following components:
• a Gateway Controller that meets the requirements for the latest Communication Server 1000
software release.
• DSP resources provided by the Gateway Controller or Voice Gateway Media Cards.
• a Signaling Server: if you add a Signaling Server to a previously CISPR Class B system
(previously used in some specific countries), the system complies to Class A, as noted in the
front and back pages of this document.
For more information about preparing a Small System for conversion, see Avaya Communication
Server 1000E - Software Upgrades, NN43041-458.

Conversion

A Main Office must exist before you can convert a Small System to a Branch Office. The Main Office
must be a Communication Server 1000M or Communication Server 1000E system.
For more information about instructions on upgrading an existing system to the latest
Communication Server 1000 software release, see Avaya Communication Server 1000M and
Meridian 1 Large System Upgrades Overview , NN43021-458 or Avaya Communication Server
1000E - Software Upgrades, NN43041-458. For more information about instructions on installing a
Signaling Server, see Avaya Signaling Server IP Line Applications Fundamentals, NN43001-125.
If you add a Signaling Server to a previously CISPR Class B system (previously used in some
specific countries), the system complies with Class A, as noted in the front and back pages of this
document.
If a main office does not exist, you can designate an existing office as a main office. Refer to
