Installing a new G700 with an S8300

Installation Overview

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.

A new S8300 Media Server should have only the remaster program (RP) software installed on

its hard drive. The G700 components should have current releases of firmware installed. It may

be necessary to install a service pack on the S8300 after installing the Communication Manager

software, and/or to upgrade the G700 and media module firmware.

The file containing the S8300 software and G700 firmware has a *.tar extension. The *.tar file is

on the "Unity" CD-ROM that you take to the site. Additional files that may be needed are the

most recent versions of the software service pack file and G700 firmware files. You may need to

obtain these files from the Avaya Support web site.
