About the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW)

You can use the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) as a tool to assist you in the installation and
upgrade processes for S8300, S8500, and S8700/S8710 Media Servers, and G350 and G700
Media Gateways. The Installation Wizard is designed to get you up and running in a basic
installation as quickly as possible. For customized installations, optional custom templates are
also available.
The Avaya Installation Wizard ships with the media server software and is accessible on the
home page of the Integrated Management web interface. The most recent version of IW, as well
as its documentation, can be accessed online at http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw, or see the
document Job Aid: Avaya Installation Wizard, 555-245-754.

the media server (S8300, S8500, or S8700/S8710). If the correct release of

Then use:
The Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) on site, with a
laptop connection to the G350 or G700.
This wizard configures the IP addresses for the
gateway, including the gateway processors, the
controller list, and the VoIP engine.
The GIW does not install firmware on the G350 or G700
or their media modules. You can install firmware
manually, or use the UT.
The Upgrade Tool (UT), running on the primary
controller, using a remote network connection.
This tool enables you to upgrade:
the software on all LSPs registered with the
●
primary controller
the processor and media module firmware for all
●
gateways currently or previously registered with
the primary controller.
NOTE: If the customer has purchased and installed the
MultiService Software Update Manager, you may wish
to use it, instead, to upgrade G350 or G700 Media
Gateways. However, the Software Update Manager
cannot upgrade LSPs.
