7.3 Upgrade Path, Legacy Hardware
Upgrades should be exclusively done by technicians that are trained and certified by Kofax!
7.3.1 Upgrading from a Model 1xx/2xx/3xx to Model 305 or Third-Party Server
Licensing
Get new license keys for the new system. In urgent cases you may use the KCS test license keys. Note: if
the system was running with a test license key before, it will refuse to work on a test license key for a
certain period of time (see Chapter „test license keys‟ in this manual).
OS and TCOSS HDDs
Draw a backup before you start any activities!
Setup new hardware with new operating system.
If the legacy system uses SCA HDDs (with just one single connector for SCSI and power supply) without a
RAID controller, you may physically transfer the disk to the new system and eventually copy the data
internally.
If you want to reuse the old HDD, install the appropriate driver for the new SCSI controller on the system
disk before transferring the disk to the new system.
From the old system export the Registry structure and copy it to the new system. Start TCOSS setup,
TCOSS will automatically detect the old configuration by the Registry.
Now transfer the TCOSS file structure via network. Remember that the only way to increase the size of the
TCOSS file-structure is by copying it with TCDISK! After copying you may increase the max. File-number
within the TCOSS structure and other configuration parameters with TCDISK – please see TCDISK manual
for details.
Line Server
Optical link connection of legacy line servers has to be replaced by LAN connection with TS15/TC15.
Remember to check the limits for the amount of lines/modules for these interfaces. Also adequate
LAN/WAN bandwidth must be provided (see BranchBox Manual). Eventually you have to install additional
cabinets (Model 202-LAN or Model 205-LAN).
Fax interfaces in Models 202 and older are not supported with TS15. In that case upgrade to Model 305 for
ISDN BRI or to Model 205 for analogue interfaces.
ISDN PRI interfaces are not supported by TC15 - upgrade to model 305.
Third-Party Server
Read carefully the section Third-Party Hardware Support in this manual.
