Product Bulletin
Bulletin Number: P-2005-0070-Global
Date: 16 March 2005
Bulletin Title: MIRAN III application software up-issue version (3.0P.03.)
Nortel is pleased to announce the General Availability of the new MIRAN III application software
up-issue called MIRAN 3.0P.03. This is a significant bug-fix up-issue to the 3.0M version of the
application.
MIRAN provides multi-tasking, voice-processing applications, such as Recorded Announcement
(RAN) and Music-On-Hold (MOH). The MIRAN application is pre-installed on the NT0966CA or
DA Succession Media Card. This single-slot card is compatible with Meridian 1, Option 11C, Option
11 Mini, and Succession CSE 1000 systems.
Software and hardware compatibility
Miran III application software is supported only on the Media Card (SMC).
• 8-Port Succession Media Card – SMC
###############################################################
New XA firmware (Release 8.5 and 7.0) for the Succession Media Card (SMC).
This release involves design improvements and robustness to the Succession Media Card.
This advisement applies to part numbers NTVQ01BB, NTVQ01AB, NTVQ01BA, NTVQ01AA, NT0966CA, and NT0966DA used on IP Trunk, IP Line and MIRAN products. It also applies to the RoHS versions NTVQ01BBE5, NTVQ01ABE5 and NT0966DAE5.
Note: Firmware Version 8.5 should only be used on NTVQ01BB, NTVQ01AB and NT0966DA and their RoHS versions. Firmware Version 7.0 should only be used on NTVQ01BA, NTVQ01AA, and NT0966CA.
Issues Addressed and Design Improvements
====================================
The New Firmware Version available from Nortel addresses the following issue:
# Corruption of Time-Switch Memory Map which could cause crosstalk on affected channels. Time-Switch Memory Map can get corrupted when a glitch on the Backplane Clock is seen.
Modifications were made in the Time-Switch FPGA to prevent the Time-Switch memory map from getting corrupted when a glitch occurs on the M5 Clock.

Name of problem
--------------------
CS1000 - MIRAN III Software Only solution now offered. Products affected
Avaya Communication Server 1000 systems using the Integrated Recorded Announcement product (MIRAN III)
Problem description
------------------------
Avaya discontinued the CS1000 Integrated Recorded Announcement product (MIRAN III) in April 2012 due to discontinued chipset components used on the hardware. Avaya is no longer able to manufacture the hardware pack.
This information was broadcast in the NT0966DAE5 End of Sales Bulletin published April 4th 2012.
The End of sales bulletin identified other RAN and Music options including; IP Media Services, Analog trunks, and solutions from Avaya DevConnect Partners such as Interalia. IP Media Services is the recommended approach for new CS1000E systems
Avaya business partners have asked how they can secure a MIRAN III card from the used market or re-use existing spares stock to support the installed base. As the MIRAN III product is a quoted offering and includes software licenses there was no easy way to re-use secondary market hardware directly.
Resolution
Avaya has now released for sale as of EC10, kits that include the software and license portions of the MIRAN III solution. This allows partners and customers to source the base hardware themselves from the secondary used market and put together a working MIRAN III solution. This allows for replacement and expansion of MIRAN III on the CS1000M and CS1000E systems.
The base hardware pack (NTVQ01xx) was also used in high volumes on CS1000 Systems as the MC32 Media Card (also referred to as ITG-SA). As such, there is availability of material in the used market to draw from. The hardware may be either Nortel or Avaya branded.
Compatible Media card hardware packs include:
NTVQ01AA (Release 13 and up) ** NTVQ01Ax packs are 8 port (usual MIRAN)
NTVQ01AB (all Releases 01 thru 12)
NTVQ01ABE5 (all Releases 01 thru 04)
NTVQ01BA (Release 03 and up) ** NTVQ01Bx packs are 32 port (OK for MIRAN)
NTVQ01BB (all Releases 01 thru 15)
NTVQ01BBE5 (all Releases 01 thru 03)
MIRAN III product was sold kitted with the software, so you may also find MIRAN hardware in the used market that could have carton level product codes as follows:
NT0966CA (Release 04 and up)
NT0966DA (all Releases 01 thru 10)
NT0966DAE5 (all Releases 01 thru 04)
Authentic Avaya is a reliable source of certified refurbished equipment. Authentic Avaya equipment includes a one year warranty and is eligible for Avaya maintenance contracts. Authentic Avaya can be contacted at 877-972-6387
The MIRAN III software only kits now available from Avaya are:

NTAG86BS - 4 port MIRAN III software only kit
NTAG86CS - 8 port MIRAN III software only kit
NTHN86BS - 4 port MIRAN III software only kit (International functional order code)
NTHN86CS - 8 port MIRAN III software only kit (International functional order code)
As the MIRAN Software only solution requires a software license and Keycode, it is a Enterprise Configurator (EC) quoted and configured solution and not available as direct merchandise. Configuration is in the same place as original MIRAN, under path: “Core System – Locations – Call Server -- Integrated Products”
Each Configured MIRAN III Software kit will include:
Qty Description
1 NTEZ55AAE6 MIRAN III Software on a Compact Flash Card
1 NTDK57AA Avaya Standard security device (dongle)
1 P0843071 Keycode to activate 4 or 8 ports
1 NTAG81AAE6 Audio Cable – Stereo Jack - Male to Dual Female
1 NTAG81BAE6 15 ft Serial Port Cable - 9 pin D-Sub Male to 9 pin D Sub Female
1 NTAG81CAE6 10 ft Media Card Maintenance Cable - 8 pin mini to 9 pin D-Sub female
1 NTVQ0120E5 50 pin MDF to multiple break-out adaptor (Audio, Serial, RJ45)
Customers also need to consider the number of Music and RAN broadcast connections required (Call server licenses) during the quoting process.
All the best
