The user may select the Suspend button while rectifying any system problems or select the Next >> button to continue with the upgrade. When the user selects the Suspend button, a confirmation window appears as shown in Figure 731-14. Select Halt to stop the upgrade momentarily, Revert to fallback to the previous ring type (155c or 622c), or Continue to return to the last step completed and finish the ring upgrade. If reverting back to the previous ring type, the system software will guide the user through each step in reverse to minimize traffic loss. If continuing, select the Next>> button and go to the next step.
