DK424 to DK424i Upgrade
Procedure Using DKi Admin
This bulletin describes how to upgrade the DK424 to a DK424i system. It also lists the upgrade paths for
various DK424 processors, provides system capacity and line considerations, along with reconfiguration
examples and blank configuration worksheets.
Upgrade Considerations
Upgrade Paths – The following is a list of possible DK424 to DK424i upgrade paths:
♦RCTU A processors (R1~4.x) >> B1, B2, B3, B5 processors
♦RCTU B processors (R1~4.x) >> B2, B3, B5 processors
♦RCTUC/D processors (R1~4.x) >> B3 & B5 processors
♦RCTU E/F processors (R3~4.x) >> B5 processors
Note For a specific list of all processors, see Page 6 of this bulletin.
System Capacity Verification – Make sure the DK424i system you are upgrading to provides enough
PCB slots, station ports, and CO lines to match the existing DK424 system (see tables below).

Configuring DK424i Cabinets with DK424 PCBs
RCTU, R1~R3 Software with Tie and/or DID Lines
♦When installing PCBs in the DK424i cabinets, all PCBs must be installed in the same order in relation
to each other as they were in the DK424 cabinets. You may have to skip slots in the new cabinets to
place RDTU PCBs into the allowed slots.
♦Only install the PCBs that currently exist in the DK424 cabinets into the DK424i cabinets –do not add
more line or station PCBs during the upgrade. The only exception to this rule is that you can add an
RSIU, PIOU, PIOUS, RSSU.

♦Only install the PCBs that currently exist in the DK424 cabinets into the DK424i cabinets –do not add
more line or station PCBs during the upgrade. The only exception to this rule is that you can add an
RSIU, PIOU, PIOUS, RSSU.
♦When installing PCBs in the DK424i cabinets, all station PCBs and the RATU must be installed in the
same order in relation to other station PCBs as they were in the DK424 cabinets.
♦When installing PCBs in the DK424i cabinets, all CO line PCBs must be installed in the same order in
relation to other CO line PCBs as they were in the DK424 cabinets.
♦When moving station PCBs from DK424 to DK424i cabinets, you do not have to installed them in the
same order in relation to CO line PCBs, and vice-versa .
♦Do not skip slots except when necessary for RDTU, RPTU, and RWIU. Make sure these PCBs are
installed in the correct cabinet slot per Worksheet 6 of the Strata DK I&M Manual, Chapter 6 –
DK424i Configuration.
♦PIOU, PIOUS, RSSU, etc., can be installed in any DK424i slot that does not conflict with RDTU,
RPTU or RWIU vacant slots. These PCBs do not have to be installed in any order corresponding to
where they were installed in DK424 cabinets. The RSIU must be installed in slot S101.

November 2000 DKi Admin Upgrade Procedure (DK424 to DK424i)
DK424 to DK424i Upgrade Procedure Using DKi Admin
4 of 7
DKi Admin Upgrade Procedure (DK424 to DK424i)
1. When upgrading from a DK424 (RCTU) to DK424i (BxCU), use DKi Admin to download the
complete RCTU database (F2 then F3 from Backup/Restore Data).
Note After the download, use the DKi Admin “Transfer DK Data”function to transfer this data to a
floppy in case you need to restore the data back to the RCTU processor.
2. Before proceeding with DKi Admin, complete either the On-site Upgrade or Off-site Upgrade:
Important! Make sure all PCBs are installed and/or programmed correctly with Program 03 in the
DK424i before uploading data to the DK424i processor.
3. Connect the DKi Admin PC to the TTY port in the DK424i base cabinet and then set up the TTY
port/communications parameters using the programming telephone.
4. Go to the Select Customer menu and select the RCTU data that was downloaded in Step 1 above. (The
data you want to upload to the new DK424i processor).
5. Go to the Backup/Restore menu and type the DK Code 0000.
6. When you see the “DK System Program File screen”press F5 and follow the Processor Conversion
prompts to upgrade and send data to the DK424i processor.
7. Step 6 prompts you to send the RCTU data to the BxCU processor and then pull it back. Once the data
is pulled back, go back to the “Select Customer”menu and reselect the customer database; then check
the cabinet diagram.
Important! After the upgrade is complete, you must use DKi Admin to re-set Program 12-9
(recommended value is 04 sec.) and all slot related programs (Prg. 19, *42-1~2, and *60).
On-site
Upgrade
1. Install the new BxCU processor and all other PCBs from the DK424 cabinets
into the DK424i cabinets and then initialize the BxCU from the programming
telephone (follow the PCB configuration rules shown on the previous page).
2. After initialization, use the programming telephone to check/enter Program 03
PCB codes for each cabinet slot.
Off-site
Upgrade
1. Install the programming telephone and TTY port PCB into a DK424i base
cabinet. Install the new BxC processor into the DK424i base cabinet and
initialize it from the programming telephone.
2. After initialization, use the programming telephone to enter Program 03 PCB
codes for each cabinet slot (follow the PCB configuration rules shown on the
previous page).
