Migration information

The CG 6565E board is based on the CG 6565 and the CG 6060 boards. Although the boards are very similar, be aware of the following hardware and software differences as you migrate from one of these boards to the CG 6565E board.

Software differences

The software differences between the CG 6565/CG 6060 boards and the CG 6565E board include changes to the following:

System configuration file

The CG 6565E board product name that appears in the system configuration file is based on the number of trunks on the board:

Product name

Description

CG_6565E

Zero trunk CG 6565E boards and a generic name that can be used to refer to any of the CG 6565E board variants.

CG_6565E_4

One, two, or four trunk CG 6565E boards.

CG_6565E_8

Eight trunk CG 6565E boards.

The following system configuration file excerpt describes an eight-trunk CG 6565E board configured using no call control:

[CG6565EPCI]
Product = CG_6565E_8
Number = 0
Bus = 11
Slot = 0
File = c6565nocc.cfg

Temperature monitoring system

CG 6565E boards include a temperature and a fan monitoring system. If the board temperature becomes too high or the fan tachometer is under the warning threshold, oammon generates either a warning or a critical error message.
