122 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
TN2312AP/BP IPSI circuit pack upgrades
The TN2312AP/BP IP Server Interface (IPSI) circuit packs must have the most recent release
of the firmware before you upgrade Communication Manager on the media server. Upgrade the
IPSI firmware first. For firmware upgrade procedures, see Upgrading firmware on the IPSIs and
SIPIs on page 283.
Preupgrade service pack for upgrades starting from R2.x only
An upgrade from R2.x of Communication Manager requires a preupgrade service pack,
depending on which software load the media server is on. For more information about the
software load that is associated with each release, see Software release and load
on page 122.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: If the server has a Release 2.x field load other than those listed in the table, do
not use this section to upgrade the server. You must escalate.
Overview of the upgrade process
Because you cannot use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the G150 and G250 Media Gateways,
you must upgrade them separately.
