Converting The Customer Database - Nortel Meridian 1 Manual

If the data dump is not successful, do not continue; contact your
technical support organization. A data dump problem must be
corrected before proceeding.

Converting the customer database

The customer database can be sent to Northern Telecom for conversion or
converted on-site. Alternatively, you can reenter the database into the
option 51C after the upgrade is complete. If you choose to convert the
database on-site, refer to Table 8-7 to determine the appropriate conversion
procedure.
Note: It is recommended that option 21/21E customers send the
customer database diskettes to Northern Telecom for conversion; contact
your Northern Telecom representative to arrange for this.
If you choose to send the database to Northern Telecom for conversion, skip
the rest of this section, "Converting the customer database." After you have
received your converted database from Northern Telecom, proceed to
"Installing option 51C hardware" on page 8-69.
Note: Obtain extra-high-density floppy disks containing system
software from your Northern Telecom representative.
Upgrading the customer database on-site requires some system
downtime. Schedule for this when planning the system upgrade.
Service will be restored when the option 51C is fully operational.
Perform the "Preconversion procedure" in Software conversion procedures
(553-2001-320) before beginning one of the following conversion
procedures.
