Install New Firmware On The G700 Media Gateway - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

4 Configuring a New G700 with an S8700 (No Local Survivable Processor):
Verify That the tftpboot Directory Has the Right Firmware Versions
Begin
The G700 Media Gateway firmware should be stored in the C:/tftpboot or other directory you
created on your laptop or on the customer's PC, whichever has the TFTP server software running
for the download of firmware. You should check this directory to make sure the firmware version
match those listed in the Release Letter.
Note: Leave the login session up with the G700 Media Gateway while you check for
available firmware.
- Check the list of files to ensure that the version numbers match those of the Release Letter.
Use the following legend to help understand which files are for the different G700 Media
Gateway components.
Note: You are unlikely to need all of the files. If the customer does not have a particular
media module, you will not need to load the file.

Install New Firmware on the G700 Media
Gateway
To load new firmware for the G700 Media Gateway and the Media Modules, you will first need to transfer
the new firmware files to the G700 Media Gateway using the TFTP server on your laptop or the customer's
PC. Consult the Release Letter for the most recent information and instructions for upgraded firmware.
Connect Laptop to the Customer's LAN (If Laptop Has the TFTP Server)
Begin
If the TFTP server software and the firmware files reside on your laptop, you must connect your
laptop to the customer's LAN. This connection requires that a customer LAN port is close to the
location of the G700.
- Ask the customer's LAN administrator to give you a static IP address administered on the
customer's LAN. Your laptop may also be give an address through a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service on the customer's LAN. Ask the customer how they
want to make the connection.
