Lucent Technologies merlin messaging system User Manual

Performing a Port Licensing Upgrade

Before performing an In-Service upgrade, you must:

Notify the customer that the MERLIN Messaging System will be unavailable for a short period.

Check the status of the voice messaging ports by using the Port Status LED indicators on the
MERLIN Messaging System module and wait for all ports to be green. This ensures that no calls
are in progress on the MERLIN Messaging System when the port licensing upgrade begins.

To perform the In-Service procedure:

Step Procedure

Comments

Remove the PC Card from the PCMCIA
slot in the MERLIN Messaging System and
quickly insert the new PC Card

The communications system can remain powered
on.

Note:

The new PC Card should be installed in
the left-most PCMCIA slot.

To insert the PC Card, hold it with the Lucent
Technologies label facing to the right and slide it
gently into the PCMCIA slot.

Note:

When inserted properly, the PC Card
projects about 1-5/8" (4 cm) from the
module. The edge of the module should be
approximately aligned with the letter "I" in
the word "MERLIN" on the label of the
PC Card.

The MERLIN Messaging System starts

The MERLIN Messaging System module port
LEDs blink green several times. When the
Messaging System is successfully restarted, the
LEDs corresponding to the number of ports in the
new configuration light steady green. All
information from the previous configuration is
restored.

Program the communications system
options, as applicable, for the new
MERLIN Messaging System voice ports
