Upgrade the Firmware on the G700

250 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300

December 2003

Upgrade the Firmware on the G700

The tasks in this section can be completed most efficiently by using the Avaya Installation Wizard or the

Upgrade Tool. If the S8300 is a primary controller, use the Installation Wizard. If the S8300 is one of

several LSPs controlled by the same primary controller, use the Upgrade Tool. Or, in either case, you can

complete the tasks manually as described below.

Go to http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw to download job aids for using the Installation Wizard or

Upgrade Tool.

CAUTION:

If the passwords to log on to the P300 stack or the MGP have been changed from the

defaults, you must change them back to the original default passwords before using the

Installation Wizard or Upgrade Tool.

Using the Installation Wizard

On the Integrated Management main menu, click Launch Avaya Installation Wizard. To use the

Installation Wizard to upgrade firmware on the G700, be sure to select the "Upgrade a previously

installed Media Server with new software and/or Media Gateway firmware" on the Usage Options screen.

The Usage Options screen appears in the Installation Wizard after a few introductory screens.

Using the Upgrade Tool

On the Integrated Management main menu, click Launch Upgrade Tool. Follow the instruction to

upgrade the G700 and media module firmware.

Manual Upgrade Procedures

If you are using the Avaya Installation Wizard or the Upgrade Tool:

•Skip to If the S8300 is Using IA770 on page 257 if IA770 is being used, or

•Skip to Complete the Upgrade Process (S8300 is the Primary Controller) on page 260 if IA7 70 is

not being used.

If you are not using the Avaya Installation Wizard or Upgrade Tool, conduct the following manual

procedures to update the firmware running on the G700 Media Gateway processors and media modules.

Verify the Contents of the tftpboot Directory

Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the tftpboot directory on the

TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning documentation.
