File transfer
The Avaya G350 Media Gateway can be a client for the FTP and TFTP protocols. Use the FTP or TFTP
protocols to transfer files between the Avaya G350 Media Gateway and other devices. You can use file
transfer to:
•
Install software and firmware upgrades on the G350
•
Install firmware upgrades on media modules
•
Back up and restore configuration settings
To use file transfer, you need to have an FTP server or TFTP server on your network.
NOTE:
If you use an FTP server, the G350 prompts you for a username and password when you
enter a command to transfer a file. Also, when opening an FTP connection to the S8300,
all anonymous FTP file transfers are restricted to the /pub directory. Permission for
anonymous FTP users to create files in other directories is denied.
Software and firmware upgrades
You can upgrade software on the Avaya G350 Media Gateway. Software used to control the Avaya G350
Media Gateway itself and media modules installed on the G350 is called firmware. Use the FTP or TFTP
protocol to upload a new version of software or firmware. You can upgrade the following types of
software and firmware:
•
Firmware for the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
