Upgrading from a Previous Release

Upgrading from a Previous Release

Each new release of the CRCS/OpCenter program and the MCU offers additional features. If any endpoint already included in your previous release supports some or all of the new enhancements, you may need to update the bandwidth, proto- cols, and feature entries in the Conference Template, Endpoint, Site, and MCU databases.

Beginning with release 6.0, CRCS is backward compatible with the previous release MCU. The two MCUs controlled by CRCS do not need to be the same release. For example, MCU1 could be release 6.0 and MCU2 could be release 5.0.47.

NOTE:

If upgrading from a release earlier than CRCS 4.2, remove all reservation system items including link manager and command manager from the StartUp group prior to installation.

Upgrading a Single-User System

The first consideration before upgrading from an earlier release is to make sure your hardware and operating system meets the higher minimum requirements of the release of CRCS/OpCenter. See "Pre-Installation Requirements" for a list of the required hardware components, software, and operating system. Also make sure you have the list of logins and passwords as defined.

With the proper hardware installed, use the following upgrade procedure to load the new release of CRCS:

1.Before upgrading, you need to run the database repair program. To do so, click Start— Programs— Lucent Technologies CRCS— Run Database Repair. If there are any errors reported, click Start— Programs— Acces- sories— System Tools— Scan Disk.

2.Backup the database to external media such as floppy disk, zip disk, or tape. This database file named crs.mdb is located in the dbase subdirec- tory (where CRCS was previously installed). You can perform a Start— Find to locate the file or look in your CRCS directory under the dbase folder. It may be located on your main boot drive.

NOTE:

If you changed the name of the default directory or destination drive when you previously installed CRCS, copy the crs.mdb file to the dbase subdi- rectory of the new directory before installing CRCS and readministering the link. For example, if you name the directory c:\crcs6x, you would need to
