Chapter 3: Installing a new G700 with an S8300 using the Avaya Installation Wizard This chapter covers the procedures to install a new Avaya G700 Media Gateway with an Avaya S8300B Media Server. The S8300 can be configured as either the primary controller or as a local survivable processor (LSP).
Installation Overview About G700 components A P330 Stack Processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. (This processor is also known as the Layer 2 switching processor). The G700 also contains an MGP processor, a VoIP processor, and media modules. Updating the firmware for one or more of these processors and/ or media modules is a required part of most S8300 software upgrades.
Recommended: Place the CD in the CD-ROM drive on the technician’s laptop. This ● method requires that the Avaya TFTP Server software (available at support.avaya.com) is installed on the technician’s laptop. This method requires that the S8300B does not have Communication Manager software installed on its hard drive.
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.
- Opening the Web interface on the S8300 and using the main menu 2. Upgrade the G700 firmware by: - Opening the Web interface on the primary server and using the Avaya Installation Wizard or Upgrade Tool - Opening a telnet session to the P330 stack processor and perform the installation...

About the TFTP server To install firmware on a G700 without an S8300 or LSP, you must first copy the firmware files to an external TFTP server on the customer LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer or it can be set up on your services laptop.
A tar.gz file, which you obtain from a CD-ROM or a website, contains new G700 firmware. To install the firmware on a G700, you must place this tar.gz file on a TFTP server that is connected to the customer’s LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer, or it can be your laptop, if you have arranged with the customer to connect your laptop to the LAN.
Downloading G700 firmware files to your TFTP directory To install new firmware for the G700 processors and the media modules, you first need to move the new firmware files to a directory on the TFTP server. The installation program reads the new firmware files from this directory on the TFTP server.

Installation Overview About G700 components A P330 stack processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. (This processor is also known as the Layer 2 switching processor). The G700 also contains an MGP processor, a VoIP processor, and media modules. Updating the firmware for one or more of these processors and/ or media modules is a required part of most S8300 software upgrades.
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 services 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.
