Configuring a New G700 with
an S8300 (Primary Controller
or Local Survivable
Processor)
The steps to install a new G700 Media Gateway with an S8300 primary controller and the steps to install a
new G700 with an S8300 configured as a local survivable processor (LSP) are almost identical, with the
following exceptions:
• While running the Configure Server wizard, you specify the S8300 as either a primary controller or
an LSP.
• For an LSP, you administer MultiVantage software on the S8700 primary controller, not on the
S8300. The S8700 then copies the MultiVantage translations to the S8300. For complete
information on installing an S8700 Media Server, see the Installation documentation on the ''Avaya
S8300 and S8700 Media Server Library CD, 555-233-825.''
For a new installation, to obtain new software for the Avaya
Media Server, you may do one of the following:
• Upload the software from a CD on-site
• Download the software directly onto your services computer before going on-site
However, the full load of update software for the S8300 (the .tar file) is available only on CD-ROM.
If you are installing a G700 Media Gateway with either an S8300 or LSP, load and install the license,
authentication file, and new S8300 software first. Then use the S8300/LSP server for TFTP services. The
new software file for the S8300 (and G700) has a .tar extension and contains both the S8300 and G700
software. The release letter for the installation, which should be shipped with the G700, or available from
your Project Manager, will tell you what files you need to load.
Note: A P330 processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. This P300 processor is
also known as the Layer 2 Switch Processor. You normally access the G700 for
configuration by first accessing the P300 processor. Configuration and firmware
updates of this processor are a required part of most installations and upgrades.

Get Planning Forms from the Project Manager

The project manager should provide you with forms that contain all the information needed to prepare for
this installation. The information primarily consists of IP addresses, subnet mask addresses, logins,
passwords, people to contact, the type of system, and equipment you need to install.
Verify that the information provided by the project manager includes all the information requested in
"Appendix B: Checklists" on page
