Translation copy protection assigns a number to a specific telephone system and to the flash
card or set of flash cards that belong to that system. For Avaya Communication Manager on a
DEFINITY Server CSI, this number is the same on both the translation storage device (flash
card) and the Flash PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) of the processor circuit pack. In
a duplicated system, the Flash PROM of each processor circuit pack has a translation ID and
both ID's are stored on the memory card.
An attempt to initialize (boot) the system with translations that do not contain the same
identification number as stored in the processor circuit pack raises a major alarm and disables
access to the save translations command for all non-Avaya logins. You also receive a
warning message on the copyright screen notifying you of the mismatch. Contact your Avaya
representative to correct this mismatch and reset the save translations command. You
must correct the mismatch before the end of the specified grace period, otherwise you cannot
access system management commands (such as: add, change, remove, and duplicate) that
modify translation data. Avaya specifies the grace period during a system installation or
following an upgrade.

Before you start

If you are saving translations to a memory card or tape, you must verify the memory card or
tape is in place and clear any active alarms from the alarms panel.
If you have Avaya Communication Manager on a DEFINITY Server CSI, verify the memory card
translation ID matches the translation ID of your server's Flash PROM.
Instructions
In our example, we save translations to the tapes on both processor A and B.
To save translations manually:
1. Type save translation both tape and press Enter.
The save process can take up to 10 minutes. You cannot administer your system while the
save is in process. The Save Translation screen displays.
