! Usernames, passwords, alarm thresholds, Do Not 
Disturb information, and SUPERCONSOLE 1000 
firmkey assignments are not saved during a software 
upgrade. Record this information so it can be manually 
restored after the upgrade is complete.
! If you are upgrading from a software load older than N11, 
external numbers in the CDE Telephone Directory form 
that have the PRM NAM field set to “YES” will be deleted 
during the DATA RESTORE. Check the Telephone 
Directory form to ensure that all external numbers have 
the PRM NAM field set to “NO”. If you are unsure which 
numbers are external, set the PRM NAM field for all 
numbers to NO.
