Manual upgrade of an existing S8300B and G700 to S8300C with R4.0

Restoring the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any

If you copied a 4600-series phone configuration file to the /var/home/ftp/pub directory prior to
the upgrade, the customer should use ftp to restore the file to /var/home/ftp/pub. You should
then restore it to the /tftpboot directory. However, before you restore the file, be sure you have
downloaded the appropriate IP phone firmware.
1. At the Linux command line, type cd ~ftp/pub, and press Enter.
2. At the prompt, type cp 46xxsettings.txt /tftpboot, and press Enter.
The 4600-series phone settings file is now restored to the /tftpboot directory.

Upgrade the G700 firmware

This section describes how to upgrade firmware on the components of the G700, including the
Media Gateway Processor (MGP), the P330 Stack Processor, and any installed media modules.
Alternate methods to upgrade the G700 Media Gateway include using the Avaya Installation

Verifying the contents of the tftpboot directory

Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the /tftpboot directory
on the TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning
documentation. If they do not, you must copy the correct firmware versions into the /tftpboot
directory using the following procedure:
1. Download the firmware files from the support Website to your laptop.
