The 28i and 124i and their associated PC programming are unaffected by the
date change to year 2000. The systems process the Leap Year correctly and do
not require any additional upgrades or reprogramming. All versions of the 28i
use a four-digit date code entry. The 124i prior to Base/EXCPRU software 4.04
uses a two digit date code entry (e.g. 00=2000). Base/EXCPRU software levels
4.04 and above use a four digit date code entry (e.g. 2000).

!! IMPORTANT !!
If you’re system software is currently Commonized 6.00.01 or
higher, you must use PC Program version 5.00 or higher (see
below).
OR
If you’re upgrading from software 5.XX or below to 6.xx, make
sure you follow the instructions below!!
When using Commonized system software 6.00.01 or higher on the 28i or
124i systems, the PC Program version must be 5.00 or higher. Due to data dif-
ferences between the versions of software, the commonized software
(6.00.01) cannot be used with previous versions of the PC Programs. These
new programs store the database information under new files names to help
ensure that you do not use the previous system files. The 28i and 124i PC
Programs previously stored the database in a file ’xxxxx.ina’ - the new pro-
gram uses ’xxxxx.ena’ as the file name.
The following steps must be used when converting your system software and
PC Program to the new commonized versions. 
Upload/Download Instructions:
1. Using the current version of the PC Program and system software, use the
ME-PC command to upload the customer database and then save the file.
This is a precautionary step, just in case you need to revert to
the previous software.

2. Record the entries that are programmed in Program 1001 - Basic
Extension Port Setup (Part A)and Program 1810 - DID Intercept
Options.
This information will not be transferred to the new program
and must be reentered later in the installation process.
3. Install the new PC Program into your computer.
4. Prior to installing the 6.00.01 system software, upload the customer
database to the new PC Program and save the file.
During the upload process, you will receive warning mes-
sages advising you of conflicts. These messages are caused by
program and database differences. Simply click ‘I’ to ignore
the messages and let the upload process proceed.
5. Once the upload process is complete, save the file within the PC
Program.
6. Terminate the connection between the PC Program and the telephone
system.
7. Update the telephone’s system software with version 6.00.01 or higher.
Installing the new system software will initialize your tele-
phone system.
8. Using a telephone to enter system programming, use Program 0004 to
update all the circuit types within the system.
When uploading data from the 28i/124i system in Step 4, the
port and PCB slot information from Program 0091 will not
load so the system must reidentify the circuits.
9. Enter Program 1001. Using the entries recorded in Step 2, reprogram all
items as required.
10. Save your changes and exit system programming.
11. Re-establish communications between the system and the PC Program.

12. Open the customer’s saved database file in the PC Program.
13. Under the Communication’s ME -> PC option, use the Selected
Programs option to choose Program 0005 - Extension Circuit Type.
Upload this program to the PC Program.
The system will automatically upload Program 1001 as well.
14. Once the upload is complete, save the customer’s database file once again.
Once the system software and PC Programs have been
upgraded and your customer information has been converted,
you can upload or download the programming using the nor-
mal process.
15. Download the PC Program file to the system in order to reprogram
the system with the customer’s information.
Note:  If you’re using voice mail, depending on your system, you may need to
reprogram. The 28i or 124i systems used Program 1017 - Voice Mail
Port Assignment. With this new system software, Program 1003 -
Extension (Department) Groupand Program 0410 - Extension
(Department) Group Options, Item 3: Voice Mail Groupare used
instead allowing for up to 48 voice mail ports. Refer to the Voice Mail
feature in the i-Series Software Manual, P/N 92600SWGxx, for further
information.
With the new 6.00.01 software and higher, DID Intercept is handled dif-
ferently and must be reprogrammed in Program 1810 - DID Intercept
Options. Refer to the i-Series Release Notes, P/N 92600RNT01, for fur-
ther information.
