Keycodes - Nortel Meridian 1 Planning And Installation Manual

Chapter 16 — Starting the Option 11C Mini and installing software
• Confirm Upgrade Information: This option allows you to review the
selected installation options. You can use the "Confirm Upgrade
Information" after the system validates the keycodes, but before the
installation is complete.
• Set system time and date: The system time and date is usually set before
installation. This makes sure that all flash drive files have the correct
creation date.

Keycodes

A security keycode system protects the installation of software, feature set,
and ISM parameters. The installation does not continue unless you enter the
correct keycodes.
You require keycodes for each new installation, and for existing system
upgrades. Keycodes are on a Keycode Data Sheet, which is supplied with the
software and security device. There is a different keycode assigned to each
site for a particular combination of items, such as software release, feature set,
and ISM parameters.
Note: Contact your Nortel Networks representative if the Keycode Data
Sheet is missing.
The Software Installation Program validates the keycodes. If the keycodes are
valid, the installation function continues.
If the system rejects the keycodes that you enter, the installation function
stops. Take one of the following actions:
• Check the software and make sure that it is the correct version for this
site.
• Check the feature set and make sure you entered the correct data.
• Check the keycodes and make sure you entered the correct keycodes.
• Check the ISM parameters and make sure you entered the correct data.
• Abort the installation.
The system limits the validation of keycodes to three consecutive attempts.
After the third unsuccessful attempt, the Software Installation Program
returns to the main menu. Any data entered during this session is lost.
