Preparing a G350 without an S8300 for
configuration
If some of the configuration will be done on-site and some remotely, the supporting technician will
perform the local configuration and set up the G350 for the remote configuration. You will need to assist

NOTE:
Firmware upgrades for the G350 and media modules can either be installed from CD or
downloaded from the Web.
