My company has tasked me with upgrading an Axxess to a 5000. A vendor has been selected. They inform me that the new switch will be installed the day of the cut-over. Is this a normal procedure? I expected the new switch to be in and up and running, ready to accept the T-1 cross-connect days before the scheduled cut-over. I'm told by my vendor that they will deliver the new 5000, install it and cut over on the same day.
