The SCS3230 upgrade replaces the CONTROL card of the 3200 with a new 10/100 BaseT NETWORK and CONTROL card which includes a Linux-based operating system, and also replaces the NETWORK and TERMINAL cards of the 3200 with CHANNEL EXTENDER cards.

1.1Quick Start

Overview of Upgrading from a CS3200 to a SCS3230 (all covered in this manual):

1.Backup the Database of your existing CS3200 System.

2.Obtain the SCS3230 Kit, which includes the cards, cables and this manual.

3.Locate the firmware updates for the DEVICE cards; they are stored in the /lci/bin directory on the NETWORK/CONTROL card. You may also download the update files from the Lightwave FTP site. DEVICE cards MUST be updates to Version 4.03 firmware.

4.Remove the CS3200 from service.

5.Remove the CONTROL card, the TERMINAL card(s) and the Network or 10/100 card(s)

6.Install the 3230's NETWORK/CONTROL card in place of the CONTROL card.

7.Install the four CHANNEL EXTENDERS in place of the TERMINAL or NETWORK cards.

8.Connect the four cables for the CHANNEL EXTENDERS.

9.Turn the System On, and administer the system using the TERM port. Set up your IP network connection information to get that operating.

10.RESTORE your CS3200's database into the SCS3230 system.

The SCS3230 system should be fully operational at this point.
