Chapter 8: Upgrading the Avaya
If your Avaya G250 Media Gateway includes an Avaya S8300 Server, it might be necessary to
upgrade the Avaya Communication Manager software. Upgrading the software can be
performed in one of the following several ways:
Remote configuration via Telnet - upgrade the software remotely via Telnet. In this
●
scenario, a modem is required at the local site. See
modem for remote access
Remote configuration via network - upgrade the software remotely via a network
●
connection.
Local configuration with S8300 Media Gateway - upgrade the software at the site, using a
●
laptop computer and a CD-ROM drive connected to the S8300 Media Gateway.
Note:
You must have an S8300B in order to upgrade to Communication Manager 3.0 or
Note:
later. If you have an S8300, you must replace it with an S8300B board before
beginning the upgrade.

Upgrading the software using a CD-ROM drive

The upgrade software is usually installed from a CD-ROM drive connected to the S8300. If the
upgrade is performed locally, you might need to provide a laptop and a USB CD-ROM drive. If
the upgrade is performed from a remote location, you must connect a USB CD-ROM drive
(Material code 700289580) to the S8300 and insert the upgrade CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
You also might need to connect a modem. This depends on the method used to perform the
upgrade.
For a software upgrade on an Avaya G250 Media Gateway with an S8300 Server, use a USB
modem. It is recommended to use a Multitech MultiModem USB, MT5634ZBA-USB-V92.
