Front panel description

Reset (RST) and Alternate Software Bank (ASB) buttons

RST is the reset button. ASB is the Alternate Software Bank button.
The Avaya G450 Media Gateway has two firmware banks:
Bank A
●
Bank B
●
Each firmware bank contains a version of the G450 firmware. These may be different versions.
The purpose of this feature is to provide software redundancy. If one of the versions becomes
corrupted, you can reset the G450 using the other version. This is particularly important when
uploading new versions.
By default, when you turn on or reset the G450, the G450 loads firmware from Bank B. This
default setting can be changed by the system administrator.
For example, if the G450 is configured to load firmware from Bank B, you can reset the G450 to
load the firmware from Bank A instead.

Load firmware from a bank other than the default bank during startup

1. Press and hold the reset button.
2. Press and hold the ASB button.
3. Release the reset button.
4. Release the ASB button.
