Configuring a New G700 with
an S8700 (No Local
Survivable Processor)
For an installation of a new system, to obtain new firmware for the Avaya
do one of the following:
• Upload the firmware from a CD on-site
• Download the firmware directly onto your services computer before going on-site
If you are installing a G700 Media Gateway without an S8300 or LSP, you must use an external TFTP
server. The new software file for the G700 has a .gz extension. The release letter for the installation, which
should be shipped with the G700 or available from your Project Manager, will tell you what files you need
to load.
Note: A P330 processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. This P300 processor is
also known as the Layer 2 Switch Processor. You normally access the G700 for
configurations by first accessing the P300 processor. Configuration and firmware
updates of this processor are a required part of most installations and upgrades.

Get Planning Forms from the Project Manager

The project manager should provide you with forms that contain all the information needed to prepare for
this installation. The information primarily consists of IP addresses, subnet mask addresses, logins,
passwords, people to contact, the type of system, and equipment you need to install.
Verify that the information provided by the project manager includes all the information requested in
"Appendix B: Checklists" on page

Get the Serial Number of the G700

You need the serial number of the G700 Media Gateway you are installing to add the G700 Media Gateway
to the S8700. To get this number, open the box of the G700 Media Gateway and look for the serial number
sticker on the back of the unit.
