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:

CabinetCard SlotsLoop/Shelf
Main cabinet (SSC) 0 - 100 - 0
Expansion cabinet 111 - 200 - 1
Expansion cabinet 221 - 304 - 0
Expansion cabinet 331 - 404 - 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.

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.

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:

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:

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:

>Rebooting system ...

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.

Done!

If you need to load a follower, do it now. The process is the same, except that you will be prompted for the Leaders host name, and the configuration will be automatically loaded from it. In order for this to work, both cards must be network active.

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:

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.
96 Channel DSP card Superloop numbers are going to be: L S 11: 0 - 31, L S 12: 0 - 31, & L S 13: 0 - 31

Adding a card.

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

The IP phone will not ring to an analog phone untill you set up the voice gateway.

You also must configure the DDB (Digital data block) in ld 73.

The alarm will be this Error:

Configuration cannot be saved. 1.5 Mb/s DTI/PRI pad category table does not exist. Create a pad category table using LD 73.

TRSH (Threshold) You will need this value set. We selected the number 1. Define a TRSH value from 0 to 15 to get the DDB to actually install. Enter this TRSH value in LD 17 when defining a DTI/PRI loop.
