Upgrading Software And Firmware - Avaya G350 Administration

Each firmware bank contains a version of the G350 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 G350 using the other version. This is particularly important when uploading new versions.
By default, when you turn on or reset the G350, the G350 loads firmware from Bank B. To change the
default bank from which firmware is loaded during startup, type the
example, to configure the G350 to load firmware from Bank A on startup, type
After typing the
command to save the change. Now, when you reset the G350, it will load firmware from Bank A.
You can use the ASB button on the G350 front panel to load firmware from the 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.
For example, if the G350 is configured to load firmware from Bank B, use the steps listed above to reset
the G350 to load the firmware from Bank A instead.
To display the bank from which the G350 is currently set to load its firmware upon startup or reset, type

Upgrading software and firmware

To upgrade software or firmware, you must obtain an upgrade file from Avaya. Place the file on your FTP
or TFTP server. Then, use one of the following commands to upload the file to the G350. For each of
these commands, include the full path of the file and the IP address of the FTP or TFTP host as
parameters. When you enter the command, the CLI prompts you for a username and password.
NOTE:
In addition to using the CLI to upgrade software and firmware, you can use the Avaya IW
and the GIW. See
