How to import Complex into Comb Portal from Comb Connect

The Import CC Complex function has been created to easily migrate a complex from the Comb Connect system to the Comb Portal system.

Ensure the following is correct on Comb Connect before starting the migration

Important items to note before starting the migration process:

  • Once the migration process has been completed, only Comb Communications Support staff will be
    able to access the Organisation information on Comb Connect.

  • Please note that only devices firmware version 3.2.52 and version 3.3.31 can be migrated to Comb Portal. The older B1000 devices are not supported and will require an upgrade of hardware to MKII BB/MK II Lite.

  • Please notify the Organisation's Administration person/s or Managing Agent before commencing with
    the migration process

  • NB: Remember to document the current device configuration on Comb Connect before migration,
    to check that settings are the same after migrating or upgrading the device.
