Replacing/Adding/Upgrading Media Modules Using A Usb Mass Storage Device - Avaya G250 Administration

Basic device configuration
11. Delete the vpn_license.cfg file from the root backup directory. Since you are restoring
the files from one gateway to another, and the VPN license is granted per gateway serial
number, the restore operation will fail if you do not delete it.
12. Type key config-key password-encryption command, followed by the same
passphrase that was used to create the Master Configuration Key (MCK) in the faulty
gateway. This creates on the new gateway an MCK identical to the MCK in the faulty
gateway, which enables the restore operation to decrypt the secrets in the configuration
file.
The restored configuration file will include all the configuration of the gateway, including
user's names and passwords, IKE pre-shared keys, etc.
13. Insert the USB mass storage device in the new G250/G350 USB port.
14. Type restore usb usbdevice0 backup-name, where backup-name is the backup
directory path and file name on the USB mass storage device.
15. Type show restore status to check the status of the restore operation. The report
lists the files restored.
16. Obtain and install a VPN license. For information on obtaining a VPN license, see
Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G250 Media Gateway, 03-300434 or Installing and
Upgrading the Avaya G350 Media Gateway, 03-300394.
17. Update the S8300 on the new G250/G350 with the serial number of the new gateway,
otherwise the gateway is not be able to register in the Avaya Communication Manager.
See Administrator's Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 555-233-506.
The new G250/G350 is now a restored, fully-operational G250/G350.
Replacing/adding/upgrading media modules using a USB mass storage
device
1. Backup the gateway by typing backup config usb usbdevice0 backup-name,
where backup-name is the backup directory path and file name you are creating on the
USB mass storage device.
A backup directory is created on the USB mass storage device, with a directory structure
as detailed in
2. From the Avaya support web site, download to your PC the firmware files of the media
modules you are adding or upgrading. For each media module, download all firmware
corresponding to the various hardware vintage/suffix versions available for that module. If
you are not sure which files you need, you can download the firmware files of all media
modules. The restore operation uses only the files needed.
3. Insert the USB mass storage device into the PC's USB port, and copy the media modules'
firmware files to the MM subdirectory under the root backup directory.
