6 Upgrading an Existing G700 with an S8700 (No Local Survivable Processor):
Install New Firmware on Other G700 Media Gateways (Stack Configuration)
Begin
If the customer has multiple G700 media gateways connected in an IP stack, you can stay
connected to the master G700/P330 and "session" over from the master P330 stack processor to
the next G700 in the stack. If you are dialed in remotely, you should have automatically dialed in
to the stack master. For a local installation, you should have plugged your laptop into the stack
master P330, which you can identify by the LED panel on the upper left of each G700 or P330
device in the stack. The LEDs signal as follows:
- On the G700 Media Gateway: a lit MSTR LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
- On the P330 device: a lit SYS LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
The G700 and P330 at the bottom of the stack is module number 1, the next module up is
number 2, and so on. However, the stack master can be any module in the stack, depending on the
actual model, the vintage firmware it runs, and whether the S8300 is inserted into it.
Note: You do not need to configure the other P330 processors in the stack. These will
use the IP address and IP route of the master P330 stack processor. However,
you will need to check firmware on all devices of the other G700s in the stack,
including the media gateways themselves, and update the firmware as required.
You may also use the "session stack" command to access extra standalone P330
processors in the stack (those that are not part of a G700 unit).
At the MG-001-1(configure)# prompt, type session stack
1.
The P330 configure prompt appears.
At the P330-1(configure)# prompt, type session <mod_num> mgp
2.
<mod_num> is the next P330 processor in the stack. If you are currently logged in to the master
stack processor, <mod_num> would be 2, for the second G700/P330 processor in the stack.
Repeat the steps in

G700 Media Gateways in the stack.

Install New Firmware on Other G700 Media Gateways (Remote, No Stack
Configuration)
Begin
If additional G700 media gateways are supported in the configuration, but they are not attached as
a stack, then you must configure each G700, with all of its devices, including the P330 processors.
Additionally, you must check firmware and update the firmware as required.
Repeat the steps in the section
1.
for other G700 Media Gateways in the configuration.
