Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Software Upgrade
Upgrade introduction
The Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Software Upgrade can be performed on any Norstar
Voice Mail system installed on either a Norstar Applications Module (NAM) or a
Norstar Applications Module II (NAM II).
Upgrading to Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 is divided into four parts:
• Checking the size of the hard disk drive
• Installing a new hard disk drive (if required)
• Entering the Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Security Key Code.
• Upgrading the system software to Norstar Voice Mail 4.1.
The Software Upgrade can only be installed on a system that is equipped with a 540
MB hard disk drive or larger. If your system is equipped with a 270 MB hard disk
drive, the hard disk drive must be replaced before attempting the upgrade. For more
information on checking the size of the hard disk drive, refer to "Checking the size
of the NAM hard disk drive" on page 11.
The Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Security Key Code must be enabled before attempting
to perform the Software Upgrade. The Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Security Key Code
prepares the NAM for the Software Upgrade procedure.
The Norstar Voice Mail 4.1 Software Upgrade can be done from a Norstar two-line
display telephone.
The Software Upgrade cannot be performed from a monitor and keyboard
connected to the NAM. If your system has a monitor package installed, ignore any
commands or prompts that appear on the screen.
This guide is intended for the person performing the Software Upgrade.
