IP Office Technical Tip (Region: Global)

166: IP406 V2 and IP Office 4.0

27th March 2007 - Full PDF Text Version

 

This document explains the process of how to return an IP Office 406v2 control unit which does not have the required amount of RAM to run R4.0 software. Some of these units (PCS 7 and earlier) have only 16MB of memory, which is not enough to run R4.0 (or later) software. The IP Office R4.0 Update Wizard can automatically detect if the unit has insufficient memory to load the SW, and will show an on-screen warning.

Customers with 406v2 at PCS 7 or earlier can return their units to Avaya for replacement with units that have the required memory to run R4.0 software.

Units at PCS 8 or later have enough memory to run R4.0 (or later) software and do not need to be returned for upgrade.
