Setting Up A Tftp Server; Setting Up A Tftp On The Lan - Avaya G450 Installing And Upgrading

Setting up a TFTP server

To load individual firmware files on an Avaya G450 Media Gateway, you must place the files on
a PC connected to the customer's LAN or on an S8300 Server in the customer's network. Later,
you will log onto the G450 and use its TFTP capability to download the new firmware. If you can
use an S8300 Server to stage the firmware, see
S8300 Server on page 109. If not, a TFTP server must be set up on the LAN.
Note:
A Linux or Unix TFTP server should be used only if a Linux or Unix TFTP server
Note:
already exists on the local network. In this case, download the appropriate files to
your laptop and give it to the customer for proper placement and execution.

firmware. It is recommended that you call the directory C:\tftp.
