Check for Translation Corruption

2 Enter your terminal type and press Enter.
If you see the following message:
Warning: Translation corruption found, then follow the normal

Stop the LSPs (if applicable)
Skip this procedure if no LSPs are registered to the S8300.
For configurations with LSPs, the LSPs and the primary controller (S8300, S8500, or S8700) must run
the same version Communication Manager. Therefore, an upgrade to an LSP is usually accompanied by
an upgrade of the primary controller. You should upgrade the LSP before you upgrade the primary
controller.
Before you upgrade the primary controller, you need to shut down Communication Manager on the LSPs.
This prevents the phones and other endpoints attached to the G700 from trying to register with the LSPs
while you are upgrading the primary controller.
