Obtaining S8300 software and G700 firmware

The files containing the software for the S8300 and the G700 and media module firmware are
on the Communication Manager Software Distribution CD-ROM that you take to the site. This
CD is called the software CD because in contains software for all of the Linux servers.
Additional files that may be needed are:
License file
●
Authentication file
●
Software service pack files (most recent version)
●
Security update files
●
G700 firmware file (most recent version)
●

Checking the CD for the most recent firmware files

The firmware on the Communication Manager software distribution CD may not be the most
recent. Therefore, check the firmware versions contained on the software CD to verify that you
have the latest before installing the firmware using the LSP's TFTP server. You can do this by
accessing the CD on your laptop and displaying the actual firmware filenames in the Releases\
<release_number>\Gateways directory.
For example, the CD may contain a file mm760v60.fdl, but the most recent firmware available
on the Avaya Web site is mm760v65.fdl. In this case, download the mm760v65.fdl file from the
Web site for installation instead of installing the file from the CD. As another example, the CD
may contain the mgp_25_23_0.bin media gateway file, and the Avaya Web site also contains
mgp_25_23_0.bin. In this case, you could use the firmware from the CD because the versions
of the files are the same.

CAUTION:
If you are a customer administrator, you might be required to access the
CAUTION:

Obtaining service pack files

Pre- and post-upgrade service packs may be needed for this upgrade. If the service pack files
are not on your software CD, download the service pack files from the Avaya Support web site
to your laptop.
