ProVision considerations

Prolog information
The ProVision tool suite, including the Nortel Migration Tool, allows the administrator to migrate either a subset or all of the terminals from CS 1000 into the ProVision database, carry out manipulation of data as needed, and then load the data on the applicable Avaya Aura® servers. ProVision also allows the administrator to replace TNs when collapsing multiple CS 1000 systems into a single Avaya Breeze® platform cluster. After collapsing, the Nortel Migration Tool creates a .csv file for each collapsed CS 1000 containing TN data.
However, the migration does not provide a complete infrastructure.
  • Some elements, such as an Avaya Breeze® platform cluster provides the Call Park and Page service. It must be manually created before using the service on Device Adapter.
  • Some elements, such as class-of-service data and class-of-restriction data, must be defined to assign them to Device Adapter endpoints.
  • The other servers in the infrastructure do not fall under the migration, and the data setup of the stations migrated from CS 1000 to Device Adapter. The tools may be used to program the servers after they are deployed, but that is out of scope for this document.
  • For SCR/SCN and MCR/MCN:
    • You can map SCR and MCR with the appropriate button type and set the per button ring control to Ringing during migration.
    • You can map SCN and MCN with the appropriate button type and set the per button ring control to Non-ringing during migration.
    However, ProVision does not support setting the per button ring control to Delayed and Abbreviated for SCR and MCR. After the migration is completed, you can manually set the per button ring control to Delayed or Abbreviated for SCR and MCR by using System Manager or Communication Manager.
    For more information, see Basic and Per Button Ring Control in Appendix H: Call processing features and services.
