Chapter 16 – Starting up and testing the system
After all installation or upgrade selections have been made, validating
keycodes must be entered. If an invalid keycode is entered, the install
function will not be allowed to continue.
Note: Entering an invalid keycode does not affect the software and
databases on the present system.
Once the keycode validation passes, the software is installed.
The Software Installation Program has the following other options:
• Clear Upgrade Information
If for any reason the installation is to be terminated after the keycodes are
entered, but before the installation is done, the installation can be aborted
with this option.
• Confirm Upgrade Information
This option allows the review of the installation options chosen. It can be
used after the keycodes are validated, but before the installation is done.
• Set system time and date
This is usually done prior to installation to ensure that all flash drive files
have their correct creation date.
Keycodes
Installation of software, feature set and ISM parameters is protected by a
security keycode scheme. The installation is not allowed unless the correct
keycodes are entered.
Keycodes are required for each new installation as well as existing system
upgrades. They are provided on a Keycode Data Sheet supplied with the
software and security device. Keycodes are unique to each site for a particular
combination of items such as software release, feature set, ISM parameters
and so on.
Note: Contact your Nortel Networks representative if the Keycode Data
Sheet is missing.
The Software Installation Program validates the keycodes. If the keycodes are
valid, the installation function continues.
