Preliminary Procedures
Software Upgrade
For this upgrade, a Translation Upgrade Tool (TUT) is required. The translations
on the translation card must be copied to tape. This procedure must be
performed before the upgrade begins.
1. Copy the translations in the present system to a spare translation card.
Ty p e
save translation
and press
Enter. This instructs the system to write all
translation information from memory to the translation card.
NOTE:
The off-site STS translation upgrade does not preserve the content of
recorded announcements. Therefore, during the upgrade, any
announcements stored on a TN750/B circuit pack must be
re-recorded. The TN750C Announcement circuit pack stores
announcements in non-volatile memory; saving the announcements
is not needed.
2. Mail the translation card to Software Technical Support (STS) (with
next-day delivery) to be converted and written to a Release 8r removable
media. This process takes several days. The new Release 8r software
removable media (including 1 with translations) must be on-site before the
upgrade begins. For each Release 8r processor, 2 removable media (1
system and 1 backup) must always be retained on site with the system.
3. Insert the original translation card back into the present system.
4. If possible, the customer should put a freeze on any new translations while
the spare tape is being converted. If not, be sure the customer’s switch
administrator keeps detailed records of any translation changes made
during that interval. These records will facilitate the reassignment of any
changes on the Release 8r removable media after the upgrade.
Follow Routine Preventive Maintenance
During the upgrade, follow routine preventive maintenance procedures on the
system to be upgraded. For information about the procedures and necessary
equipment, refer to the “Preventive Maintenance” section in
