Chapter 3: Installing A New G700 With An S8300 Using The Avaya Installation Wizard - Avaya G700 Installing And Upgrading

Chapter 3: Installing a new G700 with an S8300
This chapter covers the procedures to install a new Avaya G700 Media Gateway with an Avaya
S8300 Media Server. The S8300 can be configured as either the primary controller or as a local
survivable processor (LSP).
The new S8300 normally ships without any software on its hard drive. To install the software,
you need to have an external USB DVD or CD-ROM drive.
The G700 ships with the firmware installed on the G700 processors and media modules.
However, you may need to upgrade Communication Manager, G700 firmware, and/or media
module firmware if the latest available versions are not currently installed.
If the S8300 is configured as an LSP, the primary controller, running Avaya Communication
Manager, can be either another S8300, or an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server.

The steps to install an S8300 configured as an LSP are the same as the steps to install an
S8300 configured as the primary controller, with the following additional considerations:
The version of Communication Manager on the LSP must be the same as, or later than,
●
the version running on the primary controller.
For an LSP, you administer Communication Manager translations on the primary
●
controller, not on the LSP. The primary controller then copies the translations to the LSP.
