Manual installation of a new G700 without an S8300

Installation overview

A P330 Stack Processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. (This processor is also known as

the Layer 2 switching processor). In addition, the G700 contains:

Media Gateway Processor (MGP)

VoIP processor

Up to four media modules

Possibly an expansion module

Installing or upgrading the firmware for one or more of these processors and/or media modules

is a required part of most new installations or upgrades.

You should obtain the firmware files for the G700 before going on-site. You can obtain the

firmware files in bundled form on a CD or you can go to the Avaya Support website and

download the individual firmware files onto your services laptop.

To install firmware on a G700 without an S8300 or LSP, you must first copy the firmware files to

an external TFTP server on the customer LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer

or it can be set up on your services laptop.

Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is

with a direct connection from your laptop to the Console port on the G700. With this connection,

you can assign the IP addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the

customer LAN.
