Migrating a DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC to an S8500 Media Server
448 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Migration paths
Avaya supports the following migrations of a DEFINITY Server CSI in a CMC to the S8500
Media Server IP-PNC configuration:
● DEFINITY Release 5 through Release 10
● MultiVantage Release 11 and 1.x
● Communication Manager Release 2.0 through Release 3.1
To migrate, you can use the existing translations. The only supported method to move
translations from legacy systems is to:
1. Freeze the translations.
2. Send the translations to the Avaya Software Technical Support (STS) group.
STS then returns the translation reports and translation files through e-mail to the project
manager before the migration. For the forms and more information, contact the STS scheduling
desk at 720-444-9418.
