Preparation And Process Steps - Avaya MCC1 Installation And Upgrades

Preparation and process steps

If the system includes TN750 or TN750B announcement packs, discuss with the customer whether they
are willing to re-record announcements. Doing so can significantly reduce the time it takes to do the
upgrade. Every
to the upgrade process. Note that you do not have to save and restore announcements on systems with
only TN750C or TN2501AP announcement circuit packs.
CAUTION:
You cannot resolve any upgrade problems without a valid craft or dadmin login and
password. You may have to contact Avaya before or during the upgrade to get the dadmin
password, and you may have to have ASG keys to use craft remotely.
For customers without an Avaya maintenance contract, the INADS database does not have a record of
passwords. Discuss with the customer who is responsible for making the passwords available.

Upgrade preparation steps
What
1
Check that circuit packs vintages are inspected.
2
Check that all adjunct versions are compatible with the new
switch version.
3
Verify expansion interface compatibility for packet bus
applications:
If the new system will have one or more expansion port
network cabinets and will run any packet applications, do not
reuse the TN776 expansion interface circuit packs; they must
be replaced with TN570 circuit packs.
4
Identify proper TDM/LAN bus cables and terminators for the
system.
If PACCON is not currently enabled, the cables and
terminators may need to be replaced for V3 and later si
systems, R5/R6vs systems, and SRPs upgrading to Avaya™
Communication Manager.
Packet applications currently running in one port network do
not guarantee that the system has the correct hardware.
Adding a packet application to another network without
verifying the TDM/LAN bus cables and terminators
frequently causes upgrade problems.
We recommend that you schedule a time to replace the cables
and terminators before the upgrade. Note that this requires a
service outage.
