a. Service Definitions

BUSINESS CRITICAL Status (serviced during Business Day and After Hours) Response Time: 30 minutes to 1 hour, or best effort due to volume Definition: Keycode problem that severely affects service, capacity/traffic, billing and maintenance capabilities and requires immediate corrective action.

ii. A reduction in capacity or traffic handling capability such that expected loads cannot be handled

iii. Any loss of safety or emergency capability (e.g. 911). Customer should state the severity for such critical requests

MAJOR Status (serviced during Business Day only) Response Time: 4 to 6 hours Definition: Keycode problem that seriously affects system operation and may significantly affect service to customers if not resolved.

MINOR Status (serviced during Business Day only) Response Time: within 2 business days Definition: Keycode problem that does not significantly impair the functioning of the system and does not significantly affect service to customers. The problem is not call related.

c. Mitigation Help for Keycode Installations

The following verification steps are suggested actions for installers to take prior to installing keycodes on site and/or contacting KRS Support:

i. Pre-validate system features using KRS PRIOR to installation For NEW systems, compare the keycode with the features ordered on

the purchase order (“PO”). Report discrepancies to Avaya Order Management prior to the keycode installation date to avoid on-site emergencies.

For Upgrades, compare the new keycode with the installed features on existing system(s). Report any discrepancies to KRS Support prior to the keycode installation date to avoid on-site emergencies.

ii. Validate the System ID

For both NEW installations and Upgrades, ensure that the on-site technician validates the system ID(s) PRIOR to performing any regeneration, generation, or upgrade activity. Do not use the hardware ID as the system ID!

Avaya – Proprietary. Use pursuant to your signed agreement or Avaya policy

iii. Compare installed features for BCM / BCM 50 / CallPilot Upgrades

Compare the existing system inventory with the KRS keycode file PRIOR to adding or regenerating features on site. Take screenshots of KRS for any discrepancies between the installed system features and the keycode file. Capture the ‘View Auth Code History” screen. Note the following limitations with Keycode technical assistance: Licenses cannot be reset once they have been consumed without

product line management (“PLM”) approval. After Hours support is not available for keycode resets.

Only the features identified on KRS (done by authorization code or PO) will be carried forward during the regeneration/upgrade.

Keycodes may be generated for lost/missing features if proof of purchase is provided.

iv. For additional product support information for BCM and Norstar, see

Distribution Notice (“DN”) “N7C5CGS4_Keycode Support Policy_Norstar_BCM”.

a. NEW Meridian 1 (Communication Server 1000) site installations and/or upgrade activity

i. Keycode support for NEW switch/PBX/application installations is provided by

Avaya Order Management. ii. In addition, PBX/application upgrade activity which may result in inaccurate

keycode generation due to software history discrepancies may be referred to Avaya Order Management for support.

iii. Order Management will engage KRS keycode support as required.

b. Planned Maintenance or Upgrades

i. ‘Business Critical’ Support will not typically be provided when a switch/PBX/application is removed from service to perform planned maintenance or upgrade activity and the new keycode fails to install new software features or the new features are installed on an incorrect target system.

ii. A ‘Business Critical’ priority exception will be made for upgrade activity where a significant hardware upgrade is also in progress and the ability to reinstall old hardware is prohibitive or not reversible.

iii. Keycode mitigation and self-help steps should be followed to minimize emergencies during upgrades. Typically, the emergency workaround would be to re-install a previous working keycode.
