Upgrade the IPSI firmware (if necessary)

The following administration is done on the services laptop computer connected to the active
Avaya S8700 Media Server using both the web-based administration application and an ASA
connection.
1 WEB - Click View IPSI Version and select "Query All" to verify that all IPSI circuit
packs have the required IPSI firmware version.
ASA - Enter the command list ipserver-interface <return> to determine which IPSI in
2
high/critical configuration port networks is active.
WEB - Click Download IPSI Firmware and select the start time, which IPSIs to
3
download to, and the file to download. Firmware download files are obtained at
http://support.avaya.com. If an Internet connection is available through the customer's
network, firmware files can be downloaded directly to the servers. If an Internet
connection is not available, firmware files will have to be made available from the
services laptop. Use the Upload Files to Server (via browser) to move files from the
laptop to the server. Use the Download Files to Server (from web) to move files from a
server on the web to the S8700 Media Server.
NOTE:
It is acceptable to download new firmware to an active IPSI. However, whenever possible,
activate the new firmware in a standby IPSI.
WEB - For inservice systems click Activate IPSI Upgrade and select an individual
4
standby (high/critical configurations) IPSI and Begin activation now to activate the new
IPSI firmware. Repeat this step for each standby IPSI equipped. For duplex
configurations brief service interruptions are unavoidable. Schedule IPSI activation for a
low traffic period of time on the Activate IPSI Upgrade screen.
