Initial Access To The G700; Access To The S8300 And G700 - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

3 Installing a New G700 with an S8300: Installation Overview
The file containing the software for the S8300 has a .tar extension and contains both the S8300 software and
the G700 firmware. The .tar file will be on a CD-ROM that you take to the site. First load and install the
S8300 software. Then use the S8300 as the TFTP server to install the G700 firmware.The procedures in this
chapter tell you how to determine which firmware needs to be upgraded.
Note: You cannot use the S8300 as a TFTP server for IP Softphone software
installations. For these installations, the customer is responsible for providing a
TFTP server on the LAN.
To upgrade just the G700 processor and media module firmware, you can obtain the individual firmware
image files from the Avaya Support website. In this case, you cannot use the S8300 as the TFTP server.

Initial Access to the G700

Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is with a direct
connection from your laptop to the Console port on the G700. With this connection, you can assign the IP
addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the customer LAN.

Access to the S8300 and G700

You can access the S8300 and G700 in several ways with either a direct connection or LAN connection.
Note: Before the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool can be used to upgrade software on an LSP
or firmware on a G700, as summarized below, the LSP must be administered on
the primary controller.
Direct connection to target S8300
If you are at the location of the target S8300 (primary or LSP), you can connect directly to the S8300
Services port and:
1 . Upgrade the S8300 software by
- Opening the Web interface and using the Avaya Installation Wizard
- Or, opening the Web interface and using the main menu
2 . Upgrade the G700 firmware by
- Opening the Web interface and using the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool
- Or, telnet to the S8300 and then telnet to the P330 stack processor
Direct connection to the remote primary server (S8300 or S8700)
In this case, the target S8300 is an LSP. If you are at the remote location of the primary server, you
can connect directly to the server's Services port and:
1 . Upgrade the S8300 (LSP) software by
- Opening the Web interface and using the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool
2 . Upgrade the G700 firmware by
- Opening the Web interface and using the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool
- Or, telnet to the primary server and then telnet to the P330 stack processor and perform the
installation commands
