Checking The Number Of Allocated Ports; Checking The Ftp Server For Backing Up Data; Obtaining S8300 Software And G700 Firmware - Avaya G700 Installation Manual

Upgrading an Existing S8300B to R2.x

Checking the number of allocated ports

Release 2.x of Communication Manager supports a maximum of 900 ports if the S8300 is a
primary controller. If the existing system has more than 900 ports allocated, then there may be a
problem with the upgrade and you need to escalate. Ask the customer to check the system for
the maximum number of ports. This can be done using the SAT command, display
system-parameters customer-options. Verify that the Maximum Ports: field is 900 or
less.

Checking the FTP server for backing up data

During the installation and upgrade procedures, you will need to back up the system data to an
FTP server. Normally, you will use an FTP server on the customer's LAN for backups.
To do this, you will need information on how to get to the backup location:
Login ID and password
IP address
Directory path on the FTP server
Check with your project manager or the customer for this information.
