Upgrading R5Si/R6Si To An Avaya Definity Server R Epn Running Avaya Communication Manager - Avaya DEFINITY Server R Manual

Upgrading R5si/R6si to an Avaya
DEFINITY Server R EPN running
Avaya Communication Manager
This chapter provides the information necessary to upgrade a DEFINITY
Release 5si or Release 6si in a Single Carrier Cabinet (SCC1) Processor Port
Network (PPN) to an Avaya™ DEFINITY Server R EPN running
Avaya Communication Manager:
Release 5si
Release 5si + memory
Release 6si system with a TN790 RISC processor
Upgrading these systems means installing a new PPN and converting the existing
SCC1 PPN to an EPN. The new MCC1 cabinet always serves as the PPN.
Converting an EPN requires changing, and often restructuring, the expansion
interface circuit packs and the hardware, including replacing the control carrier in
the SCC1.
This upgrade assumes that the MCC1 cabinet has already been installed. If not,
refer to Multicarrier Cabinet (MCC1) installation procedures in Made Easy Tool for
DEFINITY Media Server Configurations (http://made-easy.avaya.com/). Return to
this chapter when finished.
Administrator's Guide for Avaya Communication Manager lists features and
functions and provides the commands, procedures, and forms.
The upgrade follows this general process:
Preliminary Procedures
Dismantle SCC PPN
Convert to SCC EPN
Install the EPN
