Migration paths
Avaya supports the following migrations of a DEFINITY Server SI direct-connect in an SCC to
the S8500 or S8700-Series Media Server direct-connect configuration include:
● DEFINITY Release G3V4
● DEFINITY Release G3/si (with Intel 386)
● DEFINITY Release 5 through Release 10
● MultiVantage Release 11 and Release 1.x
● Communication Manager Release 2.0 through Release 2.2
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.
