Software
If the customer plans to emulate existing G2 translations after the upgrade, then
these translations must be copied to a spare tape and sent to Software Technical
Support (STS) so that reports of the current G2 translations and a G3-MA diskette
with basic station translations can be generated and copied to removable media.
This process may take several days. STS must return the G2 reports and the
removable media to the Project Manager before the upgrade can begin. For each
G2 processor, retain 2 tapes (1 system tape and 1 backup tape) on site with the
G2 system.
After the reports arrive, many features require special attention because of feature
differences, screen changes, and potential naming conflicts in the upgrade
process.
During the upgrade, the Software Specialist should implement new translations
that are appropriate for the customer's needs. For information to make the
required changes, refer to Administrator's Guide for Avaya MultiVantage
Software.
Preventing Translation Errors
When instructed in this chapter, type the save translation command. Afterward,
check for translation errors before proceeding with the upgrade.
NOTE:
Be sure that the translations get saved without errors before continuing with
any upgrade.
If errors are detected, refer to
''Troubleshooting an Upgrade''
upgrade until the errors are corrected.
Contact Network Technicians
Contact the technician for each public and private network accessed by the
system before the upgrade begins. Otherwise, if these technicians are not aware
of the service interruption caused by the upgrade, it is possible that
network-access trunk facilities will be busied out at the far end.
Communication Between Equipment Rooms
For an upgrade where some of the equipment resides at a remote location, the
upgrade activity is much easier if temporary communication is established
between the equipment rooms.
