Can I make a backup translation card G3siv6

[chris5225]

Hello Everyone,
I have multiple G3siV6 switches. Can I make a backup (spare card) for each of them. I think if I put a new card in I should??. I dont care about the announcements --these are all 750C cards (nonV=retain). Where is the best deal for the sale of the cards???
1) Format Card
2) save translations
Is this the correct procedure??????????????????
Thanks
Chris

Note that only one Memory Card is provided with the system. It is recommended
that the customer purchase additional Memory Cards to serve as backup or
replacement Memory Cards. Memory Cards should be alternated periodically.
It is also recommended that backup copies of the translation data be made
weekly, or after many changes have been made to the translation data. This
minimizes the loss of recent translation data changes if the Memory Card in the
system becomes damaged.
! WARNING:
"Save translation" should not be performed if any Memory Card alarm
conditions occur or if the system is having problems.
! WARNING:
It is recommended that "save translation" be performed after business
hours so that dial tone delays are not encountered.
Enter the save announcements command to save the recorded announcements
in the system on the system Memory Card.
NOTE:
A 10 Mb Memory Card is required to save and restore announcements.
The system takes about 30 minutes to complete this task. Because the
administration terminal is unavailable during this time, it is recommended that
this command be used after business hours. During this time period, the
administration terminal cannot be used to administer the system until the transfer
is complete; however, all other administration terminals (if provided) are allowed
to perform administration procedures.
Enter the restore announcements command to restore the recorded
announcements from the Memory Card back into system memory. The system
takes about 22 minutes to complete this task. After completing the task, the
system performs an audit to make sure that the announcements on the
announcement circuit pack match the announcements administered in the
switch.
The working copy of the announcements is stored on the announcement circuit
pack. A backup copy should be made on a 10 Mb Memory Card. The following
procedure is used to make a backup Memory Card:
1. Remove the Memory Card from the Netcon circuit pack.
2. Insert the backup Memory Card into the Netcon circuit pack.
3. Log in to the terminal.
4. Verify that the screen displays: enter command:
System Backup
G3iV4 Issue 8 March 1996 5-43
5. Enter the save translation command and press RETURN. This command
instructs the system to take all translation information in memory and
transfer it into the Memory Card.
The following display appears:

I think you can also use 4 meg card. The card has to be an Avaya card because it contains a special format. I don't think you can format any 4 meg card in windows and expect the Definity software to be able to use it.

Hi
Let me make this post clear. I have a g3siv6. I want to have a seperate backup translation card seperate for each location, with each locations translations. Also, I have the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD commands available to me with my login. The bottom line is that I want to have the translations to a backup--not in the switch. And SUPERTEC you are right on this one -- Mike is wrong-- 4 megs.
I dont want this post to be confused with Orange cards v tra card. And I certainly did read the manual before I posted.
Thanks
Chris

This was cut and pasted from the Avaya manual if you read the top of the post.

And I certainly did read the manual before I posted.

Then you really didn't need to post a question here did you? Or was it so you could flame someone that was trying to help you?

Either way good luck to you on your SI v6's
