Assumptions
The following items are assumed for the successful completion of this replacement procedure. If any of
these assumptions do not apply to your scenario, some steps in the on-site replacement procedures may
need to be modified:
• The existing S8300 hardware may or may not be functional.
• The S8300 may be configured as a primary controller or as an LSP.
• The following information is available:
— customer FTP server IP address, login, and password
— contents of a Pre-Installation Worksheet
• The technician is familiar with the connection and access methods to the S8300, including setting
up a direct connection to the S8300 Services port and using the Maintenance Web interface.
NOTE:
See Installation and Upgrades for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300
Media Server, 555-234-100 for detailed information about setting up connections to the
G700 and S8300 and the associated laptop configurations.
Before you go to the site
There are seven possible scenarios for replacing the S8300 hardware, as summarized in
Replacement scenarios,
preparation and a slightly different installation procedure. The different scenarios depend on:
• whether the original (currently installed) hardware is functional, and
• whether the software releases installed on the original and new hardware are the same, different,
or unknown.
