Installing the Switch Integration Circuit Card

An AUDIX Voice Power system does not require a BX.25 data link to the switch. However, for the Intuity AUDIX Release 5 to communicate with the switch, a LAN or other type of integration circuit card must be installed in the switch. Install this circuit card sometime before the migration is complete so that the data link will be ready when the Intuity AUDIX is ready to provide service.

A LAN integration requires installation of new hardware components in both the DEFINITY ECS system and the Avaya Intuity system, administration of the circuit cards and administration on both systems. For illustrations of the cable connections, see Intuity Messaging Solutions Getting Connected, 585-313-703.

For more information on installing the TN799 LAN integration circuit card in the DEFINITY ECS system and administration of the LAN integration, see the documentation for the switch.

To install and administer a LAN integration:

  1. Install the LAN circuit card in the Intuity AUDIX.
  2. Follow the procedures in Administering the Avaya Intuity for LAN Integration with DEFINITY ECS.
  3. Continue with Administering the Avaya Intuity Voice Ports.

Administering the Avaya Intuity Voice Ports

Administer the Avaya Intuity system voice ports for the switch as you would with a new installation. See the installation book for the customer's switch and Administering Channels for more information.

When you administer the voice ports, do one of the following:

Backing Up the AUDIX Voice Power Data

There are two ways to back up the AUDIX Voice Power data:

Both methods require that you provide a blank diskette to store the backup data.

Using the Backup Software

Use this procedure to back up AUDIX Voice Power data if you have the backup software.

To back up the data:

  1. Label the blank diskette as "AUDIX Voice Power migration data" and add the current date.
  2. Log in to the AUDIX Voice Power system as root.
  3. The system displays the command line.

  4. Insert the diskette labeled "AUDIX Voice Power Backup Software R1.0 for Intuity AUDIX Migration". This diskette is shipped with the other Intuity AUDIX software.
  5. Enter installpkg
  6. The system displays the following message:

    Confirm

    Please indicate the installation medium you intend to use.

    
    

    Strike "C" to install from CARTRIDGE TAPE

    or "F" to install from FLOPPY DISKETTE.

    
    

    Strike ESC to stop.

  7. Enter F
  8. The system displays the following message:

    Confirm.

    Please insert the floppy disk.

    
    

    If the program installation requires more than one floppy

    disk, be sure to insert the disks in the proper order,

    starting with disk number 1.

    After the first floppy disk, instructions will be provided for inserting the remaining floppy disks.

    
    

    Strike ENTER when ready

    or ESC to stop.

  9. Press ENTER.
  10. The system displays the following message:

    Installation in progress – do not remove the floppy disk.

    
    

    Moving files to proper directories...

    You may now remove the floppy disk.

    
    

    The installation of the AUDIX Voice Power Backup Software R1.0 for Intuity AUDIX Migration is now complete.

  11. Remove the diskette containing the backup software and insert the blank diskette.
  12. Enter avpbackup
  13. The system displays the following message:

    Press ENTER when you have inserted the floppy to format and put the backup on, or press q to quit.

  14. Press ENTER.
  15. The system displays the following message:

    Formatting the floppy.

To back up the AUDIX Voice Power data without the software diskette:

  1. Label the blank diskette as "AUDIX Voice Power migration data" and add the current date.
  2. Log in to the AUDIX Voice Power system as root.
  3. The system displays the UNIX prompt.

  4. Do one of the following:
  5. Determine the AUDIX Voice Power release number, and then enter one of the following commands, depending on the release from which you are migrating:
  6. Wait for the light on the diskette drive on the AUDIX Voice Power system to go out.
  7. Remove the diskette from the drive.
  8. Go to the Intuity AUDIX system.

Preadministering the Avaya Intuity System

Before you transfer data from the AUDIX Voice Power system to the Avaya Intuity system, you must ensure that the Avaya Intuity system is administered to match the AUDIX Voice Power system for the following:

  5. Verify that the Start Ext. and End Ext. fields contain a number of digits that is equal to the extension length. If the Start Ext. and End Ext.fields do not have the correct number of digits, type the correct number of 0s in the Start Ext.field and the correct number of 9s in the End Ext.field.
  6. For example, if the extension length is 5, the Start Ext. column should contain five 0s (for example, 00000) and the End Ext. column should contain five 9s (for example, 99999).

  7. Press F3 (Enter) to save the new start and end extensions.
