Make the Blowback Tape
To upload the translations remotely, contact the CSA. If you choose to make a blowback tape, follow this
procedure:
NOTE:
There must always be 2 system tapes on site with the DEFINITY system. Do not send the
system or backup tape to the CSA.
1
Get a blank R1V3 tape from the regional CSA. This will be the blowback tape.
2
Remove the backup tape, install the blowback tape, and wait for the tape to retension.
NOTE:
The off-site CSA translation upgrade does not preserve the contents of recorded
announcements on TN750/B or earlier circuit packs. Therefore, if a TN750/B or earlier
circuit pack resides in the stack of single-carrier cabinets which is dismantled during the
upgrade, any announcements stored on the circuit pack must be rerecorded.
