Migration paths

For a list of DEFINITY systems and their releases that can be migrated to the S8700 or S8710
Multi-Connect configuration, see
Multi-Connect configuration
the S8700 or S8710 IP-Connect configuration, see
S8710 IP-Connect configuration
When migrating to an S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect configuration, you can use the existing
translations. For a DEFINITY ECS R with a magneto optical drive, you can use the Magneto
Optical Server Tool (MOST) to copy the translations to the S8700 or S8710 Media Server. For a
DEFINITY ECS R without an optical drive or a DEFINITY ECS SI, you must freeze the
translations and send them to Avaya's Software Technical Support (STS) group. STS then
returns the translation files on a PCMCIA flash card or compact flash card and translation
reports. Contact the STS scheduling desk at 720-444-9418 for forms and additional information.
When migrating to an S8700 or S8710 IP Connect configuration, in most cases, all the
translations must be re-entered. However, when migrating from an S8100, the only supported
method of moving translations is to freeze the translations and send them to Avaya's Software
Technical Support (STS) group. STS then returns the translation reports and translation files
through email to the project manager before the migration. Contact the STS scheduling desk at
720-444-9418 for forms and additional information.
