Chapter 5: Adding or Removing Hardware

This chapter details the information required to install additional port hardware and other equipment associated with upgrading an existing system.

For more information about installing adjuncts and peripheral devices, refer to Installation for Adjuncts and Peripherals for Avaya Communication Manager.

Add Circuit Packs

When installing additional features or equipment, it may be necessary to install additional circuit packs. This is a general procedure to use when adding features or equipment that require adding circuit packs.

1.Log onto the system and answer y to the Suppress Alarm Origination question during login.

2.Install the circuit pack into the carrier.

3.Type change circuit-pack.

4.Verify the circuit pack appears in the listing.

5.If the circuit pack code is not present, type the code manually in the proper slot.

6.Type test board long and press Enter to test the board.

7.Log off the system after the addition (and any required administration) is complete.

For information about administering circuit packs and other equipment, refer to Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication Manager.

Upgrade Firmware on Programmable Circuit Packs

You can download new firmware to specific, programmable circuit packs. Programmable circuit packs have a “P” in their suffix. For example TN799DP is programmable, but TN799C is not. This programmable capability reduces the need to physically remove circuit packs and return them to Avaya for firmware updates.

You can download firmware to one or more programmable circuit packs of the same type residing within the same configuration.
