MCD Software Installer
MCD Software Installer is a Windows-based, standalone software tool that enables technicians
to automatically upgrade software on one MCD system or on multiple MCD systems
simultaneously. MCD Software Installer provides a single interface that allows technicians to
define which installation steps to perform during the process. MCD Software Installer
re-synchronizes with the AMC during software upgrades.
MCD Software Installer simplifies the installation of MCD software by limiting the number of
interactive steps that are required during installation. Technicians can use this tool to:
• backup, upgrade, install, change options, and restore
• set up a scheduled time to upgrade an MCD system
• send e-mails to a list of recipients to inform that installation is complete
• run a command line after MCD Software Installer is finished
• show start times and elapsed times when MCD Software Installer is finished
• save settings to .config files for later use
• support more than one instance of MCD Software Installer on one PC.
The Software Installer consists of one main screen that allows technicians to define the IP
Address and account properties of the MCD system being upgraded, and a wizard screen that
allows technicians to collect the necessary upgrade information.
In 3300 ICP Release 8.0 and later, MCD Software Installer can be used to upgrade controller
software while the system is running. This process is referred to as Online Upgrade. When the
installation or upgrade is complete, the SI tool will switch from the old software to the new, and
the only downtime will be the time it takes to reboot.
Mitel Integrated Configuration Wizard
The Mitel Integrated Configuration Wizard is an independent software application that simplifies
initial programming and allows system databases to be set up quickly. The application is
installed onto a maintenance PC and then run while the PC is either connected or disconnected
from the MCD system. Technicians can create and save database templates that can be used
for new installations. The technician connects the Configuration Wizard with the MCD system
through the network and then applies the database.
The Configuration Wizard can also be used to commission NuPoint Unified Messaging, Unified
Communicator Mobile, and teleworker users on a Mitel Applications Server. Refer to the Mitel
Communications Director System Administration Tool online help for more information on the
Mitel Integrated Configuration Wizard.
Line Measure Tool
The Line Measure Tool (LMT) allows technicians to determine the line settings for Loop Start
(LS) trunks that are connected to the AX Controller Card Chassis, Analog Main Board, Analog
Option Board, or ASU II by running the following tests:
