Migration paths
For a list of DEFINITY systems that can be migrated to the S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect
configuration, see Table 1, DEFINITY system releases migratable to the S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect
configuration, on page 22. For a list of DEFINITY systems that can be migrated to the S8700 or S8710
IP-Connect configuration, see Table 2, Product releases migratable to the S8700 or S8710 IP-Connect
configuration, on page 23.
When migrating to an S8700 or S8710 Multi-Connect configuration, you can use the existing
translations. For a DEFINITY ECS R with a magneto optical drive, you can use the Magneto Optical
Server Tool (MOST) to copy the translations to the S8700 or S8710 Media Server. For a DEFINITY ECS
R without an optical drive or a DEFINITY ECS SI, you must freeze the translations and send them to
Avaya’s Software Technical Support (STS) group. STS then returns the translation files on a PCMCIA
flashcard and translation reports. Contact the STS scheduling desk at 720-444-9418 for forms and
additional information.
When migrating to an S8700 or S8710 IP Connect configuration, in most cases, all the translations must
be re-entered. However, when migrating from an S8100, the only supported method of moving
translations is to freeze the translations and send them to Avaya’s Software Technical Support (STS)
group. STS then returns the translation reports and translation files through email to the project manager
before the migration. Contact the STS scheduling desk at 720-444-9418 for forms and additional
information.
