Job Aid: Replacing the G700 Media Gateway
Appendix 2: Using the TFTP server on the
S8300 Media Server to install firmware
Instead of using a separately configured TFTP server on the customer's LAN, you can use the
TFTP server capability of an S8300 Media Server to stage the firmware for installation by the
G700/G350 Media Gateway. To do this, you must copy the individual firmware files to the /var/
home/ftp/pub directory on the S8300 Media Server using the Download files Web page on the
S8300 Media Server. Then you must copy the files to the /tftpboot directory of the S8300 Media
Server (see Copying firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of the S8300 Media
After the files are in the /tftpboot directory, you can install the files on the G700/G350 Media
Gateway or its media modules by specifying, in the Gateway Installation Wizard or on the
Upgrade Tool, the S8300 Media Server's IP address as the TFTP server holding the firmware
files you want to install.
Copying firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of the S8300 Media Server
To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Media Server, do the following:
1. Use telnet, Avaya Site Administration, or another tool to access the S8300 Media Server
command line.
2. Log in as craft.
3. At the Linux prompt, type cd /var/home/ftp/pub, and press Enter.
The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /var/home/ftp/pub.
4. At the Linux prompt, type cp <firmware_filename> /tftpboot, and press Enter to
copy a single firmware file to the /tftpboot directory. To copy multiple firmware files (most
firmware files have an .fdl suffix), use the command cp *.fdl /tftpboot.
The Linux prompt reappears. The firmware file or files have been copied to the /tftpboot
directory.
5. Repeat step 4, if necessary, for other firmware files you want to install.
6. At the Linux prompt, type cd /tftpboot.
The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /tftpboot.
7. At the Linux prompt, type ls, and press Enter.
A list of files in the directory appears.
8. Check the directory to make sure the firmware files you want to install are listed.
