Migrating a DEFINITY Server SI Direct-Connect in an MCC to a Direct-Connect
516 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Migration paths
DEFINITY Server SI Direct-Connect in an MCC and their releases that can be migrated to the
S8500 or S8700-Series Media Server direct-connect configuration include:
● DEFINITY Release G3V4
● DEFINITY Release G3s/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.
