CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Release 4.0 of Communication Manager supports a maximum of 900 ports if the
S8300 is a primary controller. If the existing system has more than 900 ports
allocated, then there may be a problem with the upgrade and you need to
escalate.
To check the system for the maximum number of ports
1. Type the SAT command,
display system-parameters customer options
and
press Enter .
2. Verify that the Maximum Ports: field is 900 or less.
Checking the availability of the FTP server for backing up data
During the installation and upgrade procedures, you must back up the system data to an FTP
server. You use a server on the customer’s LAN for backups. A current version of the system
data is required to restore the system configuration upon completion of the upgrade.
●
Check with your project manager or the customer for the following information about the
FTP server.
- Login ID and password
- IP address
- Directory path on the FTP/SFTP/SCP server
