Translation Card Upgrade Procedures
Releases 6, 7, and 8 formatted translation cards are compatible for read-only
operations. New formatted translation cards are shipped with each upgrade.
Usable Circuit Packs
Every port or control circuit pack used in the upgraded system must conform to
the minimum usable vintage requirements. Those circuit packs must meet the
usable vintage specifications.
Refer to the Software Release Letter for current information about usable
vintages. For information about usable vintages of international circuit packs, refer
to the ITAC Technical Alert from your regional distributor.
Software Upgrade
Even though the Releases 6, 7 and 8 translations upgrade automatically to Avaya
MultiVantage Software, several features require special attention because of
screen changes or potential naming conflicts in the update or upgrade procedure.
Between customer confirmation and the actual upgrade, the Software Specialist
and Associate should check these forms to ensure the upgraded translations are
appropriate for the customer's needs. Enter these translations either locally or
remotely. If done remotely, contact the Field Support Administration Center
(FSAC), with possible assistance from the upgrade technician, for the remote
entry. For more information, refer to Administrator's Guide for Avaya MultiVantage
Software.
Make no administration changes during the upgrade procedure. There can be
time gaps between steps, and because the system cannot prevent administration
changes, make sure that none are attempted during the entire upgrade process.
