Restoring the System after an Update
During software updates, including call-preserving updates, several feature
settings are lost. These must be manually restored afterward.
■ Re-enter all Maintenance Object busyouts.
■ Re-enter wakeup calls and do-not-disturb stations.
■ Restore attendant feature settings.
■ Notify Administration and ACD users that the update is complete.
■ Re-enable TTI changes by the
change system-parameters features
.
■ On the
change system-parameters maintenance
form, restore Alarm
Origination, Save Translations, CPE Alarm Level and SPE Interchange
fields and Scheduled Daily Maintenance times to their original settings.
■ Manually reset any speakerphones which derive power from the switch by
pressing the button on the voice terminal.
Backing Out of a Software Update
If fatal hardware errors or memory faults prevent the update from completing, the
system must be recovered and the update backed out. If the update command
has already been entered, follow normal escalation procedures. Backing out
after this point is hazardous and may leave the system in a corrupted state.
Software Update Procedure — Simplex SPE
After making the preparations described above, execute the following sequence
of steps, entering the commands shown in bold type. This part of the procedure
normally takes about 3 1/2 hours. Screen output for each command is described
in
Chapter 8, ‘‘Maintenance Commands’’
. If errors are encountered after entering
the
update software
command, follow normal escalation procedures. Avoid
touching the keyboard while the save or upgrade commands are running since
doing so may cause diagnostic messages to be lost.
