Chapter 9: Upgrading the Avaya
If your Avaya G250 Media Gateway includes an Avaya S8300B Media Server, it might be
necessary to upgrade the Avaya Communication Manager software. Upgrading the software
can be performed in one of the following several ways:
Remote configuration via Telnet - upgrade the software remotely via Telnet. In this
●
scenario, a modem is required at the local site. See
modem for remote access
Remote configuration via network - upgrade the software remotely via a network
●
connection.
Local configuration with S8300B Media Gateway - upgrade the software at the site, using
●
a laptop computer and a CD-ROM drive connected to the S8300B Media Gateway.
Note:
You must have an S8300B in order to upgrade to Communication Manager 3.0 or
Note:
later. If you have an S8300, you must replace it with an S8300B board before
beginning the upgrade.

Upgrading the software using a CD-ROM drive

The upgrade software is usually installed from a CD-ROM drive connected to the S8300B. If the
upgrade is performed locally, you might need to provide a laptop and a USB CD-ROM drive. If
the upgrade is performed from a remote location, you must connect a USB CD-ROM drive
(Material code 700289580) to the S8300B and insert the upgrade CD-ROM in the CD-ROM
drive. You also might need to connect a modem. This depends on the method used to perform
the upgrade.
For a software upgrade on an Avaya G250 Media Gateway with an S8300B Media Server, use
a USB modem. It is recommended to use a Multitech MultiModem USB,
MT5634ZBA-USB-V92. To prepare for the upgrade, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the modem to a working telephone line. Note the telephone number of the line to
which you connect the modem, so that you can provide the number to the technician that is
performing or supervising the configuration.
2. Connect the USB modem to either of the two USB ports in the Avaya S8300B Media Server.
