Upgrading a Call Server from CP PII to CP PIV
Planning
Planning for an upgrade involves the following tasks:
• Read and understand the current release Product Bulletin.
• Conduct a site inspection to determine proper power and grounding.
• Review the site profile to determine proper foot space if adding new
columns or modules.
• Identify all applications (CallPilot, SCCS, IP, etc.) that are currently
installed on the source platform.
• Identify and correct outstanding service problems.
• Verify the site log is updated with current trunking, call routing,
application notes, and site contact information.
• Review all product bulletins and alerts that impact the site.
• Download a copy of the CP PIV customer database media converter tool.
This tool is used to transfer the customer database from floppy disk to CF
card.
• Request additional ELAN and TLAN network connections to allow for
installation of additional MGC cards.
• Prepare a contingency plan for backing out of the upgrade.
Upgrade Checklists
Upgrade checklists can be found in the "Upgrade checklists" chapter on
