Software Upgrades
After a software upgrade, several features require special attention because of
screen changes or potential naming conflicts in the upgrade process. Most of
these changes and conflicts relate either to a software upgrade from standard
ACD to Call Vectoring or to changes in the ARS/AAR features to compensate for
increasing uncertainty in the North American numbering plan. Also, if ARS is
enabled (when upgrading from IR1 Release 8 to GD-91 software), it may be
necessary to modify the Call Type field on the ARS Analysis screen to “unk” for all
call types except “iop” or “int.”
After the upgrade, the Software Associate should check these forms to ensure
the upgraded translations are appropriate for the customer’s needs. Refer to
DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s Guide
,
for information to make any required changes.
ISDN Gateway
When upgrading to a Release 8r, upgrade the ISDN Gateway (if installed) to the
correct software release. Call progress messages to the ISDN Gateway may be
intermittently lost, therefore, this upgrade must occur at the same time as the
system upgrade.
Contact your Lucent Technologies representative for the correct software release.
Single-Mode Fiber Attenuators
Attenuators may be required when using single-mode fiber. See the table below.
A different value attenuator may be required even though the fiber span is
between the same 2 cabinets (local and remote cabinet). Refer to

Cabinets
for detailed fiber attenuator information.
