Downloading G700 firmware files to your TFTP directory

To install new firmware for the G700 processors and the media modules, you first need to move
the new firmware files to a directory on the TFTP server. The installation program reads the new
firmware files from this directory on the TFTP server.
Perform one of the two procedures in this section, depending on whether you have a bundled
tar.gz file on a CD or wish to download individual firmware files from the Avaya Support website.

Copying a bundled firmware file

Note:
Your laptop (or the customer's PC) must have WinZip or other file zipping
Note:
software for this procedure.
To copy the tar.gz file from the CD-ROM to your TFTP directory and unzip it
1. Insert the G700 software CD into your laptop or PC CD-ROM drive.
2. Use Windows File Explorer or another file management program to access the files on the
CD-ROM drive.
3. Copy the tar.gz file (G700-11.3-0009.0.tar.gz or similar identifier) to the C:\tftp directory (or
your alternate tftp location).
4. Use winZip or another zipfile tool to unzip the file.
You may need to unzip an additional tar.gz file embedded in the original file. You should
continue to unzip tar.gz files until you see listed files with extensions as shown in the
Table 10: Firmware file formats
