User's Manual

If the card contains any dynamic system files, for example SMDR records, they are temporarily
backed up by Manager and then restored after the card is recreated.
Procedure
1. Insert the SD card into a card reader on the Manager PC.
Note:
Do not remove the SD card. Removing the SD card will interrupt the upgrade.
2. Using Manager, select File > Advanced > Recreate IP Office SD Card.
3. Select Avaya Branch Gateway.
4. Browse to the card location and click OK.
Manager starts creating folders on the SD card and copying the required files into
those folders. This process takes approximately 15 minutes. Do not remove the SD
card until the Manager status bar at the bottom shows a Ready message.
Creating a configuration file
About this task
Manager can be used to create a new configuration file without connecting to a B5800 Branch
Gateway system. This allows the creation of a configuration prior to installing the system. The
configuration file can be loaded on the System SD card before the card is installed. The
configuration file specifies the system's location, trunk cards, control unit, and expansion
modules.
• The configuration created must match the physical equipment in the B5800 Branch
Gateway system for which the configuration will be loaded. If they do not match, the
system may reset and experience other problems.
• The configuration creation tool includes all control units, external expansion modules and
trunk cards supported by B5800 Branch Gateway. It is your responsibility to confirm the
B5800 Branch Gateway equipment that is supported in your location.
Procedure
1. Start Manager with no configuration loaded into Manager.
2. Click on Create an Offline Configuration in the simplified view.
3. Select the type of configuration that you want to create.
4. When completed, click OK.
Manager will create and load the configuration.
5. Edit the configuration to match the customer requirements.
This can include importing information from prepared CSV files.
