Upgrading G350 firmware using Avaya Software Update
Manager
You can use Avaya Software Update Manager to view your network inventory and the firmware
vintages of devices on your network. Avaya Software Update Manager can also check the
software versions currently in use against the latest versions available from Avaya and
recommend updates when a newer version is available. Based on this information, you can
download new firmware to multiple network devices simultaneously from a single management
station, ensuring all devices are updated.
You can use Avaya Software Update Manager to take a new release from Avaya's Web site and
store it on your hard disk for subsequent downloading to the appropriate devices.
Avaya Software Update Manager is a server application hosted on the Avaya Network
Management server. The server stores all the software retrieved from the Web and can
download the software to appropriate devices. You may also copy files containing embedded
software to the server. You can reach the server locally or via remote access, so you can update
the software on your devices from anywhere in the world.
Avaya Software Update Manager is part of the Integrated Management Enterprise Package
which is an entitlement for all Avaya Communication Manager non-introductory offers.
