Processes and Procedures
With the PS-1 chassis installed in accordance with “Installing the Processing Server (PS-1)” on

To convert a Mitel CS-5400 system to a Mitel CS-5600, you must first upgrade the software,
then configure the system settings. The conversion process requires that you perform the
following procedures.
1. Prepare the Mitel CS-5400/CS-5600 Base Server for the conversion and upgrade.
2. Associate the Base Server with the PS-1on the LAN.
3. Configure the PS-1 on the LAN.
4. Configure the Base Server in DB Programming.
5. Reload system and voice mail databases.
6. Verify that external clients point to the PS-1 rather than the Base Server.
To prepare the Mitel CS-5400 for the conversion and upgrade:
1. Back up the system and voice mail databases. Refer to the Mitel 5000 Features and
Programming Guide, part number 580.8006, for the detailed procedure.
2. To verify the integrity of the saved database, run the DB Test & Repair Utility. For the
detailed procedure, see the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part number
580.8006.
3. Convert the Mitel CS-5400 database to a CS-5600 database. For the detailed
procedure, see “Mitel 5000 Database Conversions” on page 6-23.

procedure, see “Upgrading System Software to Version 3.0” on page 5-148.
5. While the system is rebooting as a result of the upgrade, remove the USB security key
from the Mitel CS-5400 chassis and insert it into a USB 2.0 port on the front or back of
the PS-1. See Figure 5-28 on page 5-58 and Figure 5-29 on page 5-58. Connected to
the PS-1, the Mitel CS-5400 platform is called the Mitel CS-5600 Base Server.

Mitel CS-5600 configuration.
