Upgrades to Avaya MultiVantageTM Software
Made Easy
Upgrade Procedures provides links to procedures to upgrade an Avaya DEFINITY ® Server SI to Avaya MultiVantageTM Software. For general information, see Before you start, Blowback vs. On site?, and Minimum required hardware.
When to use the TN2401 versus the TN2401/2400 sandwich pack explains the differences and provides a list of the carriers and backplanes that use the TN2401 alone.
Note these important considerations:
- Before upgrading to Avaya MultiVantageTM Software, you must obtain a license file for the system. To obtain a license file, you must have completed Remote Feature Activation (RFA) training at least 48 hours before you try to access RFA. For more information, access the RFA web site.
- For some earlier upgrades, the control carrier or cabinet replacement was optional. If the carrier or cabinet was not previously replaced, you must replace it before you can complete the upgrade.
- It is essential to use the Automatic Registration Tool (ART) as the final step of any installation or upgrade. It automates the checking and setting of many of the administration forms that are not normally reviewed, and it corrects a wide range of problems that can generate alarms or make the switch inaccessible.
- Duplicated systems have Special Administration Requirements not yet handled by ART.
- If you have questions on connecting the fiber cables for a duplicated carrier cabinet installation, see Install fiber optic cable for duplicated SCC1 systems.
- For more general fiber cable information, see Install Fiber Optic Cable Pass-Thru Kit for MCC1 (Multicarrier) Cabinets.
- The upgrade procedures assume you are working on locally connected SAT. If you use Avaya Site Administration or the Terminal Emulation on a PC connected to the DEFINITY system via C-LAN or the Netcon channel, then you may not see all the status messages. So, your upgrade may be successful even though the status messages do not reflect that the system has rebooted.
