• If migrating from S8500 or S8700, verify that you have the
— the external flash drive and formatted disk if backing up translations to the flash disk.
— the appropriate login and password if backing up to and restoring files from the customer’s
network.
• If migrating from an S8500 Media Server, verify that you have a new license file.
S8700 MC
• About 2 weeks before the migration, freeze the translations:
If the existing system does not have a magneto optical drive, send the translation media to
Avaya’s Software Technical Support (STS) group.
— For R, collect the translations locally via a spare tape or removable media.
— For SI, collect the translations locally via a spare flash card.
STS then updates the translations to the latest version; this process may take two weeks. STS
returns the translation files on a PCMCIA card and translation reports before the migration can
begin. For each processor, retain 2 cards (1 system and 1 backup) on site with the system.
Contact the STS scheduling desk at 720-444-9418 for forms and information on where and how
to send the translations.
S8700 IP
• About 2 weeks before the migration, freeze the translations.
For SI, CSI, and S8100, collect the translation locally via a spare flash card and contact the STS
scheduling desk at 720-444-9418 for information on where and how to send the translations.
STS then updates the translations to the latest version; this process may take two weeks. STS
returns the translation reports and translation files to the project manager by email who sends
them to the field technician.
• Verify that a copy of the existing translations exists so they can be re-entered later (R, SI)
• Find out which adapters and cables are reusable. The following items are not reusable:
• 982LS Current Limiter (CURL) for an SI; must replace with larger CFY1B CURL
• C-LAN 259A adapter; must use adapter for IP Media Processor for 100 Mbps speed
• CAT3 cable used with C-LAN; must use CAT5 for 100 Mbps speed.
• Verify that the services laptop has the right hardware and software. See Installing and
Configuring the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server (03-300145) for the list of computer
specifications.
