578 Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Media Servers and Gateways
Migration paths
DEFINITY IP600/S8100 and their releases that can be migrated to the S8500 Media Server
IP-PNC configuration include:
● DEFINITY Release 9 through Release 10
● MultiVantage Release 11 and Release 1.x
● Communication Manager Release 1.0 through Release 1.3
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.
