upgrade concern xc 5.0 to xc 6.0

[jr6674]

HI EVERYONE
I NEED TO UPGRADE A CURRENT XC 5.0 SYSTEM TO XC 6.1 FOR THE MAIN PURPOSE OF CONNECTING A THIRD SITE TO THE MAIN SITE USING THE OFF-CORE DTI CARD (TRUNK MODULE 8,7) THAT THE XC 6.1 MAKES AVAILABLE.

I HAVE:

A) 2 EXPANSION COMBO CARTRIDEGES (SLOT 2,1)

B) 2 DTI CARDS ,SLOT 4 = PRI CHANNEL, SLOT 3= T1 POINT TO POINT( MAIN SITE TO SECOND SITE)

C)I HAVE 3 TRUNK MODULES WHICH ARE ON EXPANSION PORTS (8,7,6)

D)I HAVE A VOICEMAIL (NAM) ON EXPANSION PORT( 4)

E) AND I HAVE 3 STATION MODULES ON EXPANSION PORTS
(5,3,9)


I NEED:

THE OFF-CORE DTI CARD AVAILABLE ON 6.1, WHICH CAN ONLY GO INTO EXPANSION PORTS (7,8), THIS WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE MAIN SITE TO CONNECT TO A THIRD SITE

SINCE I COULD ONLY HAVE THIS OFF-CORE DTI(PRI/T1) ON EXPANSION PORTS 8,7 (TRUNK MODULES 8,7), THIS MEANS THAT THE CURRENT TRUNK MODULE THAT IS TAKING PORT 8 MUST BE MOVED TO PORT 7, TRUNK MODULE 7 MOVED TO 6, TRUNK MODULE 6 MOVED TO 5, STATION MODULE ON 5 MOVED DIRECTLY TO 10, AND LEAVING THE VOICEMAIL ON PORT 4, AND THE OTHER 2 STATION MODULES ON PORT 3 AND 9.


CONCERNS:

A)WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE VOICEMAIL, WHAT DO I NEED TO WATCH OUT TO HAVE A PROPER INSTALLATION...COULD THERE BE A POSSIBILITY OF CORRUPTION OR TOTAL LOSS TO THE VOICEMAIL AND IF SO HOW CAN I PREVENT THIS.

B)WHAT ABOUT LINE RE-NUMBERING ON THE PRI/T1 , AND TRUNK MODULES.

C)WHAT THINGS SHOULD I BE CONCERN WHEN MOVING TRUNK MODULES AND EXPANSION MODULES TO DIFFERENT EXPANSION PORTS.

D)WHEN THE TRUNK MODULES ARE MOVE TO OTHER EXPANSION PORTS WOULD THE LINES SIMPLY BE RE-ASSIGNED A DIFFERENT PORT NUMBER AND LINE NUMBER.

E)WHEN THE STATION MODULES ARE MOVED WOULD THE DN SIMPLY BE RE-ASSIGNED NEW PORTS AND WOULD I HAVE TO RE-ASSIGNED ANY DN TO ANY PHONES.


F)AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR THAT I MAY NOT HAVE MENTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

This is why god made vendors and we the vendors charge what is thought to be way to much.

You need an upgrade bundle to upgrade the NAM and the MICS.
Comes with all the required parts and software.

The T1 needs to go in Trunk Mod 8 or 7 in the first slot. You only have to move whatever card is in that slot.

By the way, you got hosed on the 6 port expansion cards. You only need one combo card for all 3 T1's! Too late for this info now, but in case you open a new branch.
