5 Upgrading an Existing G700 with an S8300 (Primary Controller or Local Survivable Processor):

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 upgrade. 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, If
Necessary
If the customer is adding feature functionality (for example, adding BRI trunks), you need the serial number
of the G700 Media Gateway you are upgrading in order to complete the creation of the customer's license
file on the rfa.avaya.com website. To get this number, ask the customer's administrator to log in to the
S8300 web page and select View License Status from the main menu. The View License Status window
displays the serial number.
Check That the Customer Has an FTP Server
for Backing up Data
When you complete the upgrade of the S8300 and G700, you will backup the data. To do this, you will need
an FTP address and directory from the customer to which to perform the backup. Check with your project
manager or the customer for this information.

MultiVantage Update Software to Your Laptop
Every S8300 media server and local survivable processor requires a current and correct version of a license
file in order to provide the expected call-processing service.
The license file specifies the features and services that are available on the S8300 media server, such as the
number of ports purchased. The license file contains a software version number, hardware serial number,
expiration date, and feature mask. The license file is reinstalled to add or remove call-processing features.
New license files may be required when upgrade software is installed.
Note: For an upgrade, you do not normally need to install a new authentication file (with
a .pwd extension). However, if one is required, you follow the same steps as with
a license file.
