Upgrading the software using a CD-ROM drive

The upgrade software is usually installed from a CD-ROM drive connected to the S8300. If the
upgrade is performed locally, you might need to provide a laptop and a USB CD-ROM drive. If
the upgrade is performed from a remote location, you must connect a USB CD-ROM drive to
the S8300 and insert the upgrade CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. You also might need to
connect a modem. This depends on the method used to perform the upgrade.
For a software upgrade on an Avaya G450 Media Gateway with an S8300 Server, use a USB
modem. The only supported USB modem is the Multitech MultiModem USB,
MT5634ZBA-USB-V92.

Local configuration with S8300 Media Gateway

Upgrade the software at the site, using a laptop computer and a CD-ROM drive connected to
the S8300 Media Gateway.
1. Connect the modem to a working telephone line. Note the telephone number of the line to
which you connect the modem, so that you can provide the number to the technician who
is performing or supervising the configuration.
