Migration paths
Avaya supports the following migrations of a DEFINITY Server R to the S8700-Series Media
Server configurations:
● DEFINITY Release G3V4
● DEFINITY Release 5 through 10
● MultiVantage Release 1.1 through 1.2
● Communication Manager Release 1.3
To migrate, you can use the existing translations. For a DEFINITY Server R with a magneto
optical drive, you can use the Magneto Optical to S87x0 Translations (MOST) Tool to copy the
translations to the S8700-Series Media Server.
For a DEFINITY Server R without an optical drive, you must:
1. Freeze the translations
2. Send the translations to the Avaya Software Technical Support (STS) group
STS then returns the translation files and translation reports by e-mail along with documentation
on how to save them to the Services laptop and restore them to the S8700-Series Media
Server. For the forms and more information, contact the STS scheduling desk at 720-444-9418.
