MICS Upgrade questions

[flafoneguy]

Looking thru the posts regarding upgrades to MICS I'm trying to clarify the process between myth and reality. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have MICS 5.0 that I want to upgrade to 7.1 and add a PRI. It may already have PRI keycode - but client is unsure and we cannot locate paperwork. Is it true that I can look at hardware provisioning and if PRI is a choice then PRI is active? Assuming that PRI is activated can I simply remove the 5.0 pcm card and replace it with a 6.1 and not lose system ID or any programming? (I will make backup with NRU before I attempt this) Assuming that works - can I repeat that process with a 7.1 pcm cartridge? Assuming I have a release 1 nvram at what stage should I swap to a release 2 and how do I preserve programming, sys id, PRI keycode? Is the upgrade tool my answer?

Related to this scenario - I have a MICS rel 6.1 mr system with a PRI activated - can I replace the 6.1 with a 7.1 pcm and retain programming and sys id so I don't lose the PRI keycode?

Read the 7.1 installer guide, it has the procedure. Follow it exactly.

I agree search "upgrade" on the PDF, its all laid out so you will feel safe and sure of what to do.

As for PRI (yes you will see it in hardware) it has nothing to do with the upgrade however dont botch it or system id might change on you.
