Converting the Translations
The translations in the Release 5/6si system must be copied to a spare translation
card and sent to Software Technical Support (STS) to be converted and written to
removable media. This process takes 2 weeks. The Avaya Communication
Manager media (including 1 with translations) must be on-site before the upgrade
begins. For each new processor, 2 media (1 system disk and 1 backup removable
media) must always be retained on site with the system.
Software Upgrades
After a software upgrade, several features require special attention because of
screen changes or potential naming conflicts in the upgrade process. Most of
these changes and conflicts relate either to a software upgrade from standard
ACD to Call Vectoring or to changes in the ARS/AAR features to compensate for
increasing uncertainty in the North American numbering plan. Also, if ARS is
enabled, it may be necessary to modify the Call Type field on the ARS Analysis
screen to "unk" for all call types except "iop" or "int."
After the upgrade, check these screens to ensure the upgraded translations are
appropriate for the customer's needs. Refer to Administrator's Guide for Avaya
Communication Manager for information to make any required changes.
ISDN Gateway
When upgrading to Avaya DEFINITY Server R EPN running Avaya
Communication Manager, upgrade the ISDN Gateway (if installed) to the correct
software release. Call progress messages to the ISDN Gateway may be
intermittently lost; therefore, this upgrade must occur at the same time as the
system upgrade.
Contact your Avaya representative for the correct software release.
