Power Up the System (Standard Reliability)
1. Set the cabinet circuit breaker to ON. 
NOTE:
If the system was rebooted with the software memory flashcard, you hear a 
beep from the SAT when you need to switch flashcards. This takes about 3 
minutes.
2. If applicable, remove the software memory flashcard and inser t the new or 
original translation flashcard as directed in the Save Translation step and 
Remove ISDN Interface Links step.
Power Up the System (H/C Reliability)
If powering up with translation cards inserted:
1. Verify that SPE select switches on the TN792 Duplication Interface circuit 
packs are on AUTO.
2. Set the cabinet circuit breaker to ON and wait for login prompt.
If powering up with software memory flashcard inserted:
1. Set the SPE select switches to the control carrier that has software 
memory flashcard inserted.
2. Set the cabinet circuit breaker to ON.
NOTE:
Look for the “Card in Use” LED below the flashcard on the TN794 to 
go out. This takes about 3 minutes.
3. Remove software memory flashcard and insert the new or original 
translation flashcard into the same carrier as directed in the Save 
Translation step and Remove ISDN Interface Links step.
4. Insert the software memory flashcard into the other carrier.
NOTE:
Wa it for login: prompt. This takes about 3 minutes.

Upgrading R5si/R6si/R6 SR EPN to 
R8si/R8 SR EPN
This chapter provides the information necessary to upgrade the hardware and 
software from a DEFINITY ECS Release 5si or Release 6si system with a 
TN790/B processor to a Release 8si system. This includes the Survivable Remote 
EPN (SR EPN). You are replacing the following hardware:
nThe TN790/B Processor with a new TN790B Processor, which contains the 
Release 8 software.
nThe TN777B Network Control and TN778 Packet Control (if present) with 
the TN794/TN2400 Network Controller Interface Assembly
nTN772 Duplication Interfaces with the TN792 Duplication Interfaces for 
high or critical reliability systems.
The procedures step you through a software and hardware upgrade that can be 
done on either a standard reliability system or a high or critical reliability system.
For more help refer to the following books:
— DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s 
Guide
— DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Maintenance for 
R8si
NOTE:
Upgrading an SR EPN is similar to upgrading an R8si system. If you are 
upgrading an SR EPN: 
1. Check the link status between the G3r PPN and the associated SR EPN. 
The link must be up and functioning before you can upgrade. If the system 
is in survive mode, resolve the alarms and return the link to service before 
proceeding with the upgrade.

Service Interruption
The upgrade process requires a service interruption of about 15 minutes. Closely 
coordinate the service interruption with the customer and the local account team.
Call Management System (CMS)
The CMS link is dropped and restarted during the upgrade. This causes CMS 
data to be lost. This data loss can be minimized if the upgrade is performed just 
after the last CMS measurement interval.
All measurement data is lost during the upgrade (including BCMS). If needed, the 
repor ts may be printed before the upgrade begins.
CMS could abort the processing of a call if a measured trunk that was par t of the 
conference dropped off the call before the end of the call. Customers experiencing 
this symptom and who are running R3V4 CMS should update to r3v4ao.e or 
higher.
Contact Network Technicians
Contact the technician for each public and private network before the upgrade 
begins. Otherwise, it is possible that network access trunk facilities will be busied 
out at the far end.
Translation Card Compatibility
An upgrade from a G3V4 requires a Release 8 formatted translation card. A MIPS 
formatted translation card ships with each upgrade.
Usable Circuit Packs
Every circuit pack used in the Release 8 system must conform to the minimum 
usable vintage requirements for that system. At a presale site inspection, the 
remediation process checks the vintages of existing circuit packs to be reused in 
the Release 8 system. Replace all unusable vintage circuit packs with current 
vintages.
Refer to 
Te c h n i c a l  Q u a r t e r l y, Reference Guide for Circuit Pack Vintages, Change 
Notices, 
and to the Software Release Letter for information about usable circuit 
pack vintages. For information about usable vintages of non-U.S. circuit packs, 
refer to the 
ITAC Technical Alert from your regional distributor.
