Download 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.
