Checklist for Prerequisite Administration
This is a checklist of things that need to be completed before you can proceed with the
network administration tasks. Review this checklist before starting the administration
tasks.
✔ Checklist Item
The prerequisite administration needed depends on whether the system is new or
is being upgraded from an R7 or pre-R7 system to R8. Use the following map to
determine which steps to perform.
For more information about the checklist items, refer to Appendix A or the
appropriate upgrades book in "References", page 56.
UPGRADES ONLY:
Steps 1–6 apply only to systems being upgraded to R8
from an R7 or pre-R7 release. For new systems, skip to step 7.
1 Save translations on customer flash card (csi or si models) or tape (r
model). For R7 systems, skip to step 5.
2 This step is for the si model only. It preserves ISDN-PRI connections,
which (for R7 and later) are carried on the NetPkt circuit pack instead of
the PI or PACCON circuit packs. ISDN-PRI connections are preserved
transparently on the csi and r models.
If:
the si switch has existing ISDN-PRI connections that the customer wants to
keep, complete the following steps:
~ De-administer the ISDN-PRI connections:
• busy the ISDN links
• remove comm-interface links of type ISDN
• remove comm-interface processor channels that use ISDN links
• remove data modules using those links
~ Save translations on a “working” flash card
Otherwise:
skip to step 3.
