can continue to support users with Release 1 through Release 3 as you add users
with Release 4, or you may choose to upgrade all users to Release 4.
New capabilities in Release 4 are:
■ ARS and AAR routing of EC500 calls (loopback elimination).
■ EC500 CDR reports.
■ Call Filtering.
Upgrade from EC500 Release 3
Loopback Trunk Elimination
The following process is to change the EC500 configuration to work without the
loopback trunks. Let’s eliminate the loopback connections for station 5462.
Eliminating the loopback trunks is optional and should be accompanied by
changing the mobility trunk group field on the XMOBILE Station screen to
ars.
1. Eliminate the DS1 or IP loopback trunks associated with EC500 Release
2.0 or 3.0. This includes removing the loopback trunks and signaling
groups via switch administration as well as physically from the switch.
Loopback trunk configuration can coexist with the EC500 R4 if you choose
to do so. If you decide to eliminate the loopback trunks, the removed
equipment can be re-used for other trunking solutions. You can change
gradually over to a total loopback elimination. If you decide to have the
loopback and non-loopback configurations coexist, you must remember
there are capacity restrictions when using the DS1.
2. Type
change station 5462 and press Return.
