The system upgrade package consists of a set of 3.5" diskettes that contain the necessary upgrade
software. These upgrade diskettes may be used on more than one CyberSWITCH.
Once a system is upgraded, you may then upgrade any Manager diskettes purchased for the
upgraded system.
Notes: If you have an older platform, there is a possibility that the new features we have added
may use up the available memory. Therefore, this release may effect the number of
compression sessions available. You may want to purchase more memory for your
CyberSWITCH. Contact your distributor.
You may not perform a software upgrade on a system if you will be changing the country
version of the software. For example, you may not upgrade a NTT version to a US version;
you must instead do an install.
With the availability of the DM-24, modem upgrade is now a possibility. A Digital Modem
upgrade is beyond the scope of this section. For more information on upgrading modem
firmware, refer to the
modem upgrade command.
