Transfer Files from a CD or Laptop
Normally, during an upgrade, you will have the CD-ROM that contains the latest software to install. The
latest software for the S8300 has a file name that has a .tar extension and reflects the most recent load of
software (For example only: S8300-02.0-00.0.218.6.tar; for systems with IA770, the filename would be
similar to S8300msg-02.0-00.0.218.6.tar). The latest update (patch) software for Communication
Manager has a .tar.gz extension and a file name that reflects the most recent load of software (for
example, 03.0.110.4-4925.tar.gz).
This .tar file will also contain the most recent firmware for the G700 Media Gateway, the various media
modules, and the P330 stack processor.
