Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Software Upgrade Guide

Upgrading a Norstar Voice Mail system 

with a 270 MB hard disk drive

The Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Software Upgrade can only be installed on a system that 
is equipped with a 540 MB hard disk drive or larger. If your system is equipped with 
a 270 MB hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be replaced before attempting 
the upgrade.

Before you remove and replace the hard disk drive, you must back up the Norstar 
Voice Mail programing and the Norstar Applications Module (NAM) capabilities 
file.

Backing up the Norstar Voice Mail programing copies:

•

System configuration parameters

•

Company Greetings

•

Mailbox programing

•

User Greetings

•

Directory Name recordings

•

Group Lists

•

Dialing Translation information

•

CCR information including CCR Trees, CCR Paths and CCR prompts

Backing up the Norstar Voice Mail programing does not copy any saved or new 
messages in the user mailboxes. We recommend warning the users in advance that 
there messages will be deleted when the upgrade is performed.

After the hard disk drive is replaced and the Software Upgrade is performed, the 
Norstar Voice Mail programing and the NAM capabilities file must be restored.
