Upgrading Software and Firmware—S8500 Configuration
December 2003
CAUTION:
You must stop call processing on the LSPs during the S8500 Media Server software
upgrade process.
CAUTION:
The LSP's Communication Manager must remain shut down while you upgrade the
primary controller. After completing the primary controller upgrade, run save
translations on the primary controller before restarting Communication Manager on the
LSP. The save translations process automatically causes the G700's endpoints to reregister
with the primary controller.
NOTE:
Because the design and organization of the Maintenance Web Interface changes with
subsequent releases, your Web pages may not look the same as those shown.
