Copying Firmware Files To The /Tftpboot Directory Of An S8300 Server; Upgrading G350 Firmware Using The Cli Via A Usb Device - Avaya G350 Installing And Upgrading

After copying the files to the /tftpboot directory, you can use the GIW to install the files to the
G350 or its media modules by specifying the S8300 Server's IP address as the TFTP server
containing the new firmware files.
Note:
You only have to do this if you have not upgraded the S8300 first or if you did
Note:
upgrade it first and found that the gateway files on the Communication Manager
CD were out of date. Otherwise, when you upgrade the S8300, the files appear in
the /tftpboot directory automatically.

Copying firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Server

1. Use ssh craft@<ip address> to access the S8300 Server command line.
2. Address the password/challenge as required for access.
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 mv <firmware_filename> /tftpboot, and press <Enter> to
move the firmware file to the /tftpboot directory. To move multiple firmware files (most
firmware files have an .bin suffix; the media module firmware files have a .fdl suffix), use
the command mv *.bin /tftpboot or mv *.fdl /tftpboot. The Linux prompt
reappears. The firmware file has been moved to the /tftpboot directory. If you copy the
firmware using the cp command, remove the files from the /var/home/ftp/pub directory
after you have copied them.
5. Repeat step 4, if necessary, for each firmware file 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.

Upgrading G350 firmware using the CLI via a USB device

You can upgrade firmware via a USB mass storage device using the CLI. The upgrade files
must first be downloaded to a local PC.
1. Prepare installation worksheets. See
2. Download the firmware files to a PC. See
PC on page 92.
3. Insert a USB mass storage device into the PC's USB port, and copy the firmware files to
the USB mass storage device.
