Small System 5.5 Upgrade
Slots:
SSC and Fibre receiver cards are replaced by an MGC in slot 0. Call Processor (CP) and Signaling Server (SS) cards can go in any slot as they only draw power from the back-plane. It might be convenient to free slots 1 and 2 (in any cabinet) for them, though any PRI cards should always go close the MGC. Use one cabinet for the CP and SS leader, and another for the SS follower.
After this upgrade, there are no more Expansion Cabinets: they become Media Gateways. TN's will change from 'small system' format: Card-Unit (CU), to 'large system' format: Loop-Shelf-Card-Unit (LSCU). For example:
Cabinet | Card Slots | Loop/Shelf |
---|---|---|
Main cabinet (SSC) | 0 - 10 | 0 - 0 |
Expansion cabinet 1 | 11 - 20 | 0 - 1 |
Expansion cabinet 2 | 21 - 30 | 4 - 0 |
Expansion cabinet 3 | 31 - 40 | 4 - 1 |
If this is an upgrade, you will need a LD 43: EDD/BKO backup on a compact flash from the old SSC card. The installer will auto-magically convert the TN's to the new format. Note: the old SSC may not support CF cards larger than 64Meg.
Before you start, check existing hardware vintages are compatibile with the upgrade.
If this is an upgrade, you will lose Meridian Mail (no legacy AML support), so hope they have CallPilot, or you will be installing one of those too. Try to establish this ahead of time to allow for extra time if necessary. CallPilot Agents (600r) may require an MGATE card.
Prepare the cards:
Usually (for release 5.5), you'll use 3 CPPM cards (plus have spares):
Designate one as the Call Server, and two as Signaling Servers: a leader and a follower.
- The Call Processor has the flash card N0005129, and the security dongle - these must be mounted.
- The Signaling Server (leader/follower) has a 2.5" hard drive which must be mounted using 4 screws.
- Make sure the Boot Select DIP switch is in the right position for each card.
Each cabinet needs a media gateway card (MGC) in card slot 0, they are keyed and will only fit in slot 0.
Each MGC requires DSP daughter board(s) - which come in three flavors: 32, 96, and 128 port.
- NTDW62 - 32 Port DSP Low Density (position 1 or 2)
- NTDW64 - 96 Port DSP High Density (position 1 only)
- NTDW78 - 128 Port DSP High Density (position 1 only)
Give some thought to traffic levels and trunking. Spread the Digital trunk cards around if necessary. A 32 port DSP is probably OK for low capacity shelves, but shelves with high capacity cards (E1, T1, CallPilot MGATE) will require 96 ports or more, if available.

---|
Cabling:
- Each MGC needs 1 ELAN port and 1 TLAN port
- Each CPPM Call Server needs 1 ELAN port (& HSP?)
- Each CPPM Signaling Server needs 1 ELAN and 1 TLAN port
Prepare the network cables, but DO NOT connect them at this stage. Shown right is green for ELAN, yellow for TLAN. Color coding is prudent, don't mix up E and TLAN connections!
An Ethernet switch (Baystack) must have already been provisioned with two VLAN's: one each for E and TLAN - if not, do this now. All network connections are made to the switch.
Cards, cabinets and MGC's are generally hooked up AFTER they've been loaded and configured. The exception is loading a SS-Follower which requires access to the Leader.
Note: IF this is an upgrade, the CPPM card(s) can be put into ANY SLOT (with no ELAN or TLAN connections) to load the software - and then moved later. The card only draws power from the back plane and will not affect a running system. Pre-loading the cards in this way will significantly reduce down-time at cut-over. MGC cards can ONLY go in Slot 0.
Load firmware in the Call Server:
- This is the same card (CPPM) as the signaling server.
- It has no hard drive but does contain the dongle with the key code.
- It has a small flash card in it N0005129. Check the DIP switch position.
You must load the firmware from the front panel flash card slot. The CF card to insert in the front is the Communications Server 1000. NTM443CA. This firmware says release 5.00W I-29 P-104. We will boot from this CF card, and load/run the Install Tool.
Use a 2x 25way-D to Amphenol TTY communications cable. Attach the 50 pin Amphenol end to the appropriate backplane slot connector, the other to a PC serial port. Open a terminal session (PuTTY, Serial, etc.) with the usual 9600 8N1 settings.
Power on the shelf and/or seat the CPPM card.
Watch the terminal window as the card boots up.
You will see some text go by that includes an indication to use control C to enter setup. ignore this, and wait for:

This completes the Call Processor software install. Easy!
If the card is not in its final deployment slot (ie, if you're pre-loading for an upgrade), you can safely remove it and insert the Signalling Server (which uses the same TTY cable) for loading.
Now continue to install the operating system software on the Signalling Server card(s).
Load firmware in the Signaling Server:
Follow pretty much the same steps as you did for the Call Server.
The hard drive may be pre installed from Avaya, and it will boot straight into the MAIN MEUN.
In this case obviously an install flash card is NOT supplied or required.

Check the superloops
Remove the conference loop 0 0 if the loop and shelf configuration started out as Loop 0 shelf 0.
I had set the Call server and the signalling server to loop 4 shelf 1 earlier so this is a non issue.
Example of getting rid of an unwanted loop:
>ld 97 REQ chg TYPE supl SUPL x12 - The X prefix removes the loop 12. WRAP UP SUPL 012 ( REMOVED ) ..OK
You can use Element Manager to make changes. Open a web browser 10.10.75.15 (Signalling Server IP address).
Add the conference loops and TDS loops:

Reboot the Signalling server card.
Configure the MGC IP addresses.
Connect the serial cable from the back of the chassis accociated with the MGC card slot to the computer.
Make the entries after the card boots up.
You have entered the following parameters for this MG 1000E: ELAN IP : 10.10.75.43 ELAN subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 ELAN gateway IP : 10.10.75.254 Primary CS IP : 10.10.75.5 TLAN set to auto negotiate.

The MGC reboots and - if the adresses are correct - registers.
Look for the loop and shelf numbers to appear in the MGC display.
Configure MGC daughter board(s)
Use Element Manager

Use Element Manager to configure the voice gateways.
This is a bit burried uder the element manager screens. Peel back three layers and you will be there.

The 32 channel cards are going to start at L S 0 0. This is slot 0.
The 96 version has three slots: Slot 11, 12, and 13. So the 96 DSP add on card has three sets of 32 slots.

Adding a card.
It is useful to id the card to make sure you have the correct loop number.
Example: ID the card

ID the unit (phone) when trouble shooting individual phones. Someone may have moved a phone and replaced with a different model phone without notifying telephone support.
This example returns results from an IP phone.
