Task
Steps/Comments
1. Redesign networks.
●
Assess the impact of the ICC to LSP
conversion on all voice and voice
messaging network nodes. Plan for any
necessary changes to network elements.
●
In particular, collect the server
configuration information for the new LSP;
that is, host name and IP address, primary
controller IP address(es), DNS/DHCP IP
addresses (if used), UPS IP addresses (if
used), static routes data (if used), time
server data, modem return route data (if
supported by Avaya Services).
2. Create/update license
and authentication files
on the RFA web site.
●
Go to http://rfa.avaya.com and follow the
steps in
(or a similar region-specific document
if the system is outside the U.S.) to create
new license and authentication files for the
LSP.
●
If the new primary controller that will
support the LSP is being migrated to
Communication Manager 2.x, you need to
create a new license file for the primary
controller.
3. Obtain pre-upgrade
service pack, if
necessary.
If you are upgrading software from certain
releases of Communication Manager, you may
need to obtain a pre-upgrade service pack (see
Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
4. Obtain a replacement
S8300B Media Server,
if needed.
If you are upgrading an S8300A to software
release 2.1 or later, you will have to replace the
S8300A with an S8300B Media Server.
