Software Upgrades
After a software upgrade, several features require special attention because of
screen changes or potential naming conflicts in the upgrade process. Most of
these changes and conflicts relate either to a software upgrade from standard
ACD to Call Vectoring or to changes in the ARS/AAR features to compensate for
increasing uncertainty in the North American numbering plan. Also, if ARS is
enabled (when upgrading from IR1 Release 8 to GD-91 software), it may be
necessary to modify the Call Type field on the ARS Analysis screen to “unk” for all
call types except “iop” or “int.”
