Translation Card Upgrade Procedures
Releases 6, 7, and 8 formatted translation cards are compatible for read-only operations. New
formatted translation cards are shipped with each upgrade.
Usable Circuit Packs
Every port or control circuit pack used in the upgraded system must conform to the minimum
usable vintage requirements. Those circuit packs must meet the usable vintage specifications.
Refer to the Software Release Letter for current information about usable vintages. For
information about usable vintages of international circuit packs, refer to the ITAC Technical Alert
from your regional distributor.
Software Upgrade
Even though the Releases 6, 7 and 8 translations upgrade automatically to Avaya
Communication Manager, several features require special attention because of screen changes
or potential naming conflicts in the update or upgrade procedure.
Between customer confirmation and the actual upgrade, the Software Specialist and Associate
should check these forms to ensure the upgraded translations are appropriate for the
customer’s needs. Enter these translations either locally or remotely. If done remotely, contact
the Field Support Administration Center (FSAC), with possible assistance from the upgrade
technician, for the remote entry. For more information, refer to Administrator’s Guide for Avaya
Communication Manager.
Make no administration changes during the upgrade procedure. There can be time gaps
between steps, and because the system cannot prevent administration changes, make sure
that none are attempted during the entire upgrade process.
