Translating a Heritage Nortel Site ID into an Avaya Sold To

 

  • Direct and End-Customer Site-ID's can be translated through the Avaya SSO Registration page
  • Go To https://sso.avaya.com/cxp/portal/SelfRegistration.portal
  • Leave the My Relationship with Avaya set to Customer
  • Under the ACCOUNTS & PRODUCTS, using the pull down menu, change the ID Type: from Sold To to Legacy Site ID

 

  • Enter your heritage Nortel Site ID
  • After a few moments, the system will translate this to an Avaya Sold To
     

SSO Registration using a Nortel Site ID

  • Using the steps noted above, you can also register a direct customer SSO login against a (set of) Nortel Site IDs
  • Partners will still have to register against their Partner Link ID

SR Creation and Nortel Site IDs

  • Service Requests may be opened using a Nortel Site ID
  • Go to https://support.avaya.com
  • Log in using your SSO Login
  • Go to the Service Requests page
  • Select the CREATE NEW SERVICE REQUEST button
  • Under the Sold To entry window you should see a pull down menu that says "Don't know either"
  • Use that pull down menu to select the "Nortel Site ID"
  •  
  • Type in your Nortel Site ID into the input box provided
  • Wait for the system to provide you an auto-suggestion list (this may take a few minutes depending on the size of your hierarchy / Link ID )

  • You must select from the pick-list.  If you hit the Enter key / button, your input will not be properly recognized and the system will tell you it can not find any results (assets) for the entry
  • Then you they system will display the assets for the Site ID / Sold To
  • Once you have selected an asset (or product if you use the Can't find your asset? Try choosing a product Option)

 

Nortel Site ID versus Serial Number

  • Note that for Heritage Nortel Voice Products like CS1K, the KRS feed will report a number as the "Site ID" for the product
  • This is actually the Serial Number and should be used in the Serial Number field to open the ticket
  • Enter the Serial Number in the input box provided and hit the Enter Button.  Note: Partial Serial Number look-ups are not supported.

Partner dump of end-customer sold-to's (including Nortel Site IDs) 

  • Any SSO user able to pull a full list of the Sold To's including the heritage Nortel Site IDs that their contact record is associated to
  • You can access this information from either the Diagnostics & Tools page, or from Explore Accounts
  • Go to https://support.avaya.com
  • Login using your Business Partner SSO login
  • To access My Information -> Sold to Lookup Tool https://support.avaya.com/support/bpLookup.action
  • This will enable you to download a list you can pull up with Excel that will allow you to see the Nortel Site ID.
  • The Site ID will be prepended with "NT" so that you can ensure that the leading zeros, where used, are not lost.
