I will be backing-up my switch for an upgrade. I just got two new 8MB cards, can I use one of them instead of a 4MB?? Wisdom is Knowledge
that is Shared

Thanks All Phoneman2
 
It should work.

Easy way to tell is to insert card and "save trans.."

The system will tell you for sure.

You can also try to "format card-mem" (if it is still in that release and then try save trans.

If not, no harm done.

Nope, it won't work because in R8 for saving of configuration the linear Intel flash cards was used, not ATA. ATA flash cards has appeared in R9 and higher.
 
Dont think it will work.
We tried the same here, we had to end up buying 10meg cards.
Once we had Avaya format the cards for us, they now work fine.

Do your backups on the 4 meg cards. The new hardware will read the old card to pull in translations. It can not write to them (different voltages).

After the switch is up you pull the 4 meg, put in the 8 and do a save translations.

The technician doing the upgrade should take care of all of this.

anybody know a cheap (inexpensive place to buy 8 or 10 MB cards for the Definity switches...I have both Version 9+ (TN 2402 processor) and TN 798B Processors...

That is without getting them from avaya...super expensive there..

Need an inexpensive source for flash cards for Definity, both pre R9 and ATA...

If anyone has some extras, let me know...I badly need the ATA 8 Meg or 10 meg pre-formated...

Thanks,

$300 for a 10 MB flash card sounds pretty expensive to me...

There's got to be a better way...

Compare that price to Avaya price and it is probably reasonable.....
 
I guess I should have done that first...

I understand that you can buy the same ATA cards elsewhere and can be reformated in a PC with the proper drive...

Can anyone provide more detailed information?

Thanks,
