Adding a CS 1000 Release 5.0 Branch Office to a Branch Office witha previous software releaseThe CS 1000 Release 5.0 Branch Office feature requires a main office
running Nortel Communication Server 1000 Release 4.5. Therefore, the
main office must be upgraded to CS 1000 Release 5.0 before a CS 1000
Release 5.0 Branch Office can be added.
Twooptions are available when an existing Succession 3.0 Branch Office or
CS 1000 4.0 network requires the addition of a new BranchOffice. These
options are:
1. Upgrade the entire network to CS 1000 Release 5.0, and then add
the new Branch Office (see "Upgrade the entire network to CS 1000
Release 5.0" (page 197)).
2. Upgrade only the main office to CS 1000 Release 5.0, and then add
the new Branch Office (see "Upgrade only the main office to CS 1000
Release 5.0" (page 198)).
If, ina given network, there is one ormore Succession 3.0 branch offices, all
branch offices must be upgraded to CS 1000 Release 4.0 Software before
you can upgrade the main office to CS 1000 Release 5.0
