Installation Guidelines for Adding to or Upgrading a System
4. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDING TO OR UPGRADING A SYSTEM
4.1 When adding to or upgrading an Inter-Tel system, you should follow the guidelines in
the following sections. Detailed instructions and figures for each step are located throughout
the INSTALLATION section.
4.2 The following steps outline the procedures you should perform when upgrading or add-
ing to any Inter-Tel system. For details about version-specific information, see Appendix E —
Upgrading to v11.0.
1. If the system needs to be turned OFF, advise the customer and plan to do so when it has
the least impact on their operation.
2. If the changes affect the CPC, CPU card, or the customer’s database, perform a com-
plete save of the customer’s database. If the Voice Processing Unit is affected, also save
the Voice Processing database and prompts.
NOTE: If performing an upgrade, follow the instructions provided with the software for
saving, converting, and restoring software.
3.
If adding an equipment chassis, power supply, ATM Switch, or Voice Processor, see the
corresponding sections in this chapter for installation information.
4. Make sure the software license has the appropriate features required for the installation
or upgrade. If the license does not match Database (DB) Programming, an error occurs
(see page 6-45 for more information).
5. If new cabling is required, run cables to the stations and run wiring to any optional
equipment. Then, assemble the new terminal blocks on the backboard. If any T1or E1
and/or Primary Rate Interface (PRI) trunks are to be installed, terminate them on eight-
conductor modular jack (line jack unit) assemblies at the MDF. If installing any single-
line sets or non-T1 DID trunks, it may be desirable to attach the necessary Single-Line
Adapters (SLAs) and their corresponding modular jack (line jack unit) assemblies on
the backboard.
NOTE: With a U.S. system, the T1 or E1/PRI trunk is typically connected to the stan-
dard RJ48C modular jack provided on the T1, E1/PRI, or T1/E1/PRI card. However, in
certain situations, it may be more convenient to use the card's DB15 connector instead.
See page 3-37 for more information. With a European system, the PRI trunk is typically
connected to the standard RJ45 line jack unit provided on the E1/PRI or T1/E1/PRI
Card.
6.
Connect any new trunks, station cables, and circuit card cables to the corresponding ter-
minal blocks (or, for T1/E1 and/or PRI, modular jack assemblies or RJ45 sockets).
7. Perform the station loop resistance test for each station cable (as described on page 3-
69).
8. Install any new circuit cards in the chassis and connect them to the cables that run from
the MDF blocks.
9. If necessary, upload the system software into the flash memory on the CPC or the CPU.
Also load new Voice Processing software, if required.
10. Install any new station instruments and any optional station or system equipment.
11. Ensure all equipment is working properly.
