Upgrading R5si/R6si to R8r EPN
and Adding Memory
This c hapter p rovid es the information nec essary to up g rade a Sing le-Carrier 
Cab inet (SCC) Release 5si/Release 5si +  memory/Release 6si system with a 
TN790 RISC processor to a Release 8 EPN. 
The existing  SCC PPN is always up grad ed  to an EPN. The new multic arrier 
c ab inet always serves as the PPN. Up g rad ing  to an EPN for a Release 8r 
req uires c hang ing , and  often restruc turing , the exp ansion interfac e c irc uit p ac ks. 
Hard ware c hang es (inc lud ing  c arrier rep lac ement in the SCC c ab inet) is 
req uired .
This up g rad e assumes that the Release 8r c ab inet has alread y been installed . If 
not, refer to 
DEFINITY Enterp rise Communic ations Server Release 8 Installation 
and  Test for Multic arrier Cab inets
 to install the Release 8r system. Return to this 
c hap ter when finished .
In this c hap ter, all oc c urrenc es of Release 5si and  Release 5si +  memory are 
called Release 5si unless a specific c onfiguration is required to differentiate 
b etween p rod uc t offerings.
DEFINITY Enterp rise Communic ations Server Release 8 Ad ministrator’s Guid e 
lists Release 8 features and  func tions and  p rovides the c ommand s, p roc ed ures, 
and  forms to initialize and  ad minister the Release 8r.

Service Interruption
The up g rad e p roc ess req uires a servic e interruption of ab out 2 hours and  must 
b e c losely c oord inated  with the c ustomer and  the loc al ac c ount team.
Call Management System (CMS)
The CMS link is dropped and restarted during the upgrade. This causes CMS 
d ata to b e lost. This d ata loss c an be minimized  if the up g rad e is p erformed  just 
after the last CMS measurement interval.
All measurement d ata is lost d uring  the up g rad e (inc lud ing  BCMS). If need ed , 
the reports may be printed before the upgrade begins.
CMS c ould  ab ort the p roc essing of a c all if a measured  trunk that was part of the 
c onferenc e d rop p ed  off the c all b efore the end  of the c all. Customers 
exp erienc ing  this symp tom and  who are running  R3V4 CMS should  upd ate to 
r3v4ao.e or hig her.
Preventing Translation Errors
When instruc ted  in this c hap ter, p erform the save translation
 c ommand . 
Afterward , c hec k for translation errors b efore p roc eed ing  with the up g rad e.
NOTE:
Be sure that the translations g et saved  without errors b efore c ontinuing  with 
any up g rad e.
If errors are d etec ted , refer to ‘‘No Translations After Upgrade’’
 in Appendix B, 
‘‘Troubleshooting  an Upgrade’’ to c orrec t the p rob lem. Do not c ontinue with the 
up g rad e until the errors are c orrec ted . 
Communication Between Equipment Rooms
For an up g rad e where some of the eq uip ment resid es at a remote loc ation, the 
up g rad e ac tivity will b e muc h easier if temp orary c ommunic ations are 
estab lished  b etween the eq uip ment rooms.
Contact Network Technicians
The tec hnic ian for eac h p ub lic  and  p rivate network ac c essed  b y the switc h must 
be contacted before the upgrade begins. Otherwise, if these technic ians are not 
aware of the service interruption caused by the upgrade, it is possible that 
network-ac c ess trunk fac ilities will b e b usied  out at the far end .

Relocation of Port Circuit Packs
With the p ossib le exc ep tion of a p ort c irc uit p ac k in slot “ 01”  of c arrier “ A”  that 
must b e moved  for a TN570 Exp ansion Interfac e, an up grad e to Release 8 
d oes 
not
 c ause p ort c irc uit p ac ks from the Release 5/6si c ontrol c ab inet to b e moved  
and  manually retranslated . This is b ec ause a Release 5/6si PPN is always 
up g rad ed  to an EPN. So, d uring  the PPN up g rad e to a Release 8r EPN, a 
Release 8r exp ansion c ontrol c ab inet (with 14 to 16 availab le p ort slots) always 
rep lac es the Release 5/6si c ontrol c ab inet (with 10 availab le p ort slots), provid ing  
a net g ain of from 4 to 6 p ort slots.
If a p ort c irc uit p ac k d oes resid e in slot “ 01”  of c ontrol c ab inet “ A,”  the STS 
software up g rad e retranslates this c irc uit p ac k to resid e in an emp ty p ort slot in 
the new expansion c ontrol c ab inet.
For an up g rad e to a c ritic al reliab ility Release 8r, if a p ort c irc uit p ac k resid es in 
slot “ 02”  of p ort c ab inet “ B,”  the STS software up g rad e retranslates this c irc uit 
p ac k to oc c up y another emp ty p ort slot in the new exp ansion c ontrol c ab inet. 
To p rovid e maximum hold over for a TN750/B Announc ement c irc uit p ac k that d id  
not resid e in the c ontrol c arrier, the STS software up g rade reloc ates this c irc uit 
p ac k to oc c up y another emp ty p ort slot in the new exp ansion c ontrol c ab inet.
To ensure reliab le DS1 timing in the up g rad ed  Release 8r system, the STS 
software up g rad e reloc ates the DS1 c irc uit p ac ks serving  as the p rimary and  
sec ond ary timing  sourc es to oc c upy 2 emp ty p ort slots in the new Release 8r 
PPN .
When c onnec ting  ad junc ts to an up g rad ed  Release 8r, STS loc ates any new 
interfac e c irc uit p ac ks (inc luding  TN577 Pac ket Gateway, TN553 Pac ket Data 
Line, and  TN726B Data Line) in the first availab le slots of the first PPN port 
carrier.
NOTE:
To find out where STS reloc ated  these c irc uit p ac ks, refer to the annotated  
‘‘list c onfig uration all that STS p rovides with the new Release 8r removab le 
med ia.
Usable Circuit Packs
Every c irc uit p ac k used  in the up g rad ed  Release 8r system must c onform to the 
minimum usab le vintag e requirements for Release 8r. Those c irc uit p ac ks 
ship p ed  in the new Release 8r PPN or ship p ed  loose with the new EPN 
eq uip ment must meet the usab le vintag e spec ific ations. In add ition, at a p resale 
site insp ec tion, the remed iation p roc ess must c hec k the vintag es of every 
Release 5/6si circuit pack that will be reused with the Release 8r and replace 
those c irc uit p ac ks with unusab le vintag es. Refer to 
Tec hnic al Quarterly, 
Referenc e Guid e for Circ uit Pac k Vintag es and  Chang e Notic es, for c urrent 
information ab out usab le vintages in a Release 8r system.

Site Inspections
For the p urp oses of a Release 8r up g rade, most Release 5/6si systems are 
alread y eq uip p ed  with the c orrec t lig htwave transc eivers. Any old er versions of 
these c omp onents must b e rep lac ed. The earlier versions of lig htwave 
transc eivers inc lud ed  the 4-series transc eivers (4A throug h 4F). These 
transc eivers sup p orted  fib er c onnec tions up  to 7,000 feet (2133 m). Ord er the 
c orrec t transc eivers ac c ording  to a sep arate PEC.
Power and Ground
The new multic arrier PPN c ab inet or any EPN c ab inet ad d ed  for the up g rad e c an 
be either AC or DC powered. If an added cabinet is powered differently from the 
existing  c ab inets, the existing  c ab inets d o not have to b e c onverted  sinc e mixed  
p ower c onfig urations are allowed . However, the system’s p ower and ground 
must b e mod ified  so the AC p owered  c abinets are ground ed  to the same 
sing le-p oint g round  b ar as the DC p owered  c ab inets.
DC Isolator
Eac h manag ement terminal c onnec ted  to a DC-p owered  c ab inet, b y the 
async hronous EIA RS-232 interfac e, req uires a 116A isolator. The isolator is 
inserted  at the RS-232 interfac e b etween the terminal and  the interfac e 
c onnec tor to isolate g round between the system and  external ad junc ts.
Emergency Transfer Stations
During  routine op eration, the g round  for the emerg enc y transfer stations is 
d erived  from the system’s auxiliary c ab le. Disc onnec t this g round  d uring  the 
up g rad e to d isab le the stations. A g round  strap  is run to the emerg enc y transfer 
p anel. Connec t this strap  shortly after removing  power and  d isc onnec t it just 
before restoring power to the upgraded system.
Converting the Translations
The translations in the Release 5/6si system must b e c op ied  to a sp are 
translation c ard  and  sent to Software Tec hnic al Sup p ort (STS) to b e c onverted  
and  written to a Release 8r removab le med ia. This p roc ess takes 2 weeks. The 
Release 8r med ia (inc lud ing  1 with translations) must b e on-site before the 
up g rad e b eg ins. For eac h Release 8r p roc essor, 2 med ia (1 system d isk and 1 
b ac kup  removab le med ia) must always b e retained  on site with the system.

Software Upgrades
After a software up g rad e, several features req uire sp ec ial attention b ec ause of 
sc reen c hang es or p otential naming  c onflic ts in the up g rad e p roc ess. Most of 
these c hang es and c onflic ts relate either to a software up g rad e from stand ard  
ACD to Call Vec toring  or to c hang es in the ARS/AAR features to c omp ensate for 
inc reasing  unc ertainty in the North Americ an numb ering  p lan. Also, if ARS is 
enab led  (when up grading  from IR1 Release 8 to GD-91 software), it may b e 
nec essary to mod ify the Call Typ e field  on the ARS Analysis sc reen to “ unk”  for all 
c all typ es exc ep t “ iop ”  or “ int.”
After the up g rad e, the Software Assoc iate should  c hec k these forms to ensure 
the up g rad ed  translations are ap p rop riate for the c ustomer’s need s. Refer to 
DEFINITY Enterp rise Communic ations Server Release 8 Ad ministrator’s Guid e, 
for information to make any req uired  c hang es.
ISDN Gateway
When up g rad ing  to a Release 8r, upg rad e the ISDN Gateway (if installed ) to the 
correct software release. Call p rog ress messag es to the ISDN Gateway may b e 
intermittently lost, therefore, this up g rad e must oc c ur at the same time as the 
system up g rad e.
Contact your Lucent Tec hnologies representative for the correct software release.
Single-Mode Fiber Attenuators
Attenuators may b e req uired when using sing le-mod e fib er. See the tab le b elow.
A d ifferent value attenuator may b e req uired  even thoug h the fib er sp an is 
b etween the same 2 c ab inets (loc al and remote c ab inet). Refer to 
DEFINITY 
Enterp rise Communic ations Server Release 8 Installation and  Test for Multic arrier 
Cab inets

Upgrading R5si/R6si to R8r EPN and Adding Memory 
3-8 Preliminary Procedures 
3
Preliminary Procedures
During  an up g rad e, STS must c onvert the Release 5/6si translations and  write 
them to a Release 7r or later tap e. The tap e is sent to STS for c onversion. During  
this time, the c ustomer should  put a freeze on any new translations while the 
sp are tap e is b eing  c onverted . If not, b e sure the c ustomer’s switc h ad ministrator 
keep s d etailed  rec ord s of any translation c hang es mad e during  that interval. 
These rec ord s will fac ilitate the reassignment of any c hang es after the up g rad e. 
The new Release 8r removab le med ia (1 with the c onverted translations, 2 if 
d up lic ated ) must b e on-site b efore the up g rad e beg ins.
Sinc e a new Release 8r PPN is installed  during  the upg rad e, STS c hang es the 
PN numb er of the Release 5/6si PPN to b e c onverted  to a Release 8r EPN. To 
minimize the renumb ering  of PNs and  to minimize the rewiring  and  relab eling  of 
the MDF, the tap e c onversion assig ns the next PN numb er (after the hig hest 
numb ered PN in the system) to the Release 5/6si PPN to b ec ome a Release 8r 
EPN. For examp le, if a Release 5/6si system with 2 PNs (a PPN and  an EPN) were 
up g rad ed  to a Release 8r, the tap e c onversion software assig ns PN ‘‘1”  to the 
new PPN and  PN ‘‘3”  to the ad d itional EPN d erived  from the old  Release 5/6si 
PPN .
Make Spare Translation Card and Mail to STS for 
Upgrade
A sp are translation c ard  must b e ac q uired  from the remed iation b efore 
up g rad ing the system. For eac h proc essor, there must always b e 2 translation 
c ard s on site with the system. Do not send  a system or b ac kup  translation c ard  to 
STS.
1. Install the sp are translation c ard  into the TN777B on the existing  system.
2. Type save translation
 and press 
En te r. This instruc ts the system to write all 
translation information from memory to the translation c ard .
NOTE:
The off-site STS translation up g rad e d oes not p reserve the c ontent of 
rec orded  announc ements. Therefore, d uring  the up g rad e, any 
announc ements stored  on a TN750/B c irc uit p ac k must b e 
re-rec ord ed .
3. Remove the sp are translation c ard  and  insert the system translation c ard .
4. Mail the sp are translation c ard  to STS (with next-d ay d elivery).
