What is DEFINITY Made Easy?
The DEFINITY Made Easy tools provide task-oriented technician information for DEFINITY systems. This version tells you how to upgrade si systems to Release 10 and how to install new DEFINITY systems in single-carrier cabinets (SCCs) and multi-carrier cabinets (MCCs).
The upgrade information is provided in a checklist format, listing all the tasks in sequence for a particular upgrade. For more detail on a particular step, you click on a link. In addition, there are links to background information such as circuit packs and upgrade processes (for example, who checks vintages in the existing installation before the upgrade visit).
The installation information is organized into major tasks, and then the link for each task provides general information, if it is relevant, and specific steps or task lists. (Complex tasks display their own task lists.) For more detail on a particular step, you click on a link.

Navigating in the Made Easy Tools
You can use any or all of these navigation methods:
Hypertext links
A hypertext link is a cross reference in a web site that allows you to navigate to the topic it describes.
Colored, underlined text indicates Made Easy links. The color of the link may change to indicate that you have already visited the destination. Although link colors are set by the web sites, your browser settings can override them.
To follow a link, point at it with your mouse; when the arrow becomes a pointing hand, click on the link.
The color of the link may change to indicate that you have visited the destination. Made Easy defaults to blue (unvisited) and purple (visited) links, but you may see different colors; your web browser allows you to change how links display.
Navigation buttons
The navigation buttons at the top and bottom of the DEFINITY Made Easy Tools pages provide one-click access to frequently used information.
HOME: The HOME button takes you directly to the DEFINITY Made Easy Tools, where you select the tool you want to use.
The row of buttons below the HOME button provides direct access to each DEFINITY Made Easy tool.
TOC: The TOC (Table of Contents) button takes you a page of links to all the headings in the tool you are using. You can browse topics like you can browse a table of contents in a book. The TOC button is not active on the home page.
PREV: The PREV button displays the previous page in the web site -- that is, the previous topic in the TOC.
NEXT: The NEXT button displays the next page in the web site -- that is, the next topic in the TOC.
The PREV and NEXT buttons do not move between the pages that you have displayed in your browser; use the browser's Back and Forward buttons to page backward and forward through the pages you have displayed.
INDEX: The INDEX button displays an index of links to selected topics in the tool you are using. The INDEX button is not active on the home page.
LINKS: The LINKS button opens a new browser window that contains links to other websites on the Avaya Technologies corporate intranet that are of interest to technicians. Your computer must be connected behind the Avaya firewall to get to these other websites. Close the browser window when you have finished with the links.
FAQs: The FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) opens a new browser window that contains questions and reference information that support the Made Easy Tools. Use the browser Back button to return from any question to the FAQ list. Close the browser window when you have finished with the FAQs.
