Upgrading the G350 firmware

Firmware is the software that runs the Avaya G350 Media Gateway and the media modules installed in
the G350. Upgrading the firmware can be performed in one of the following ways:
•

Local upgrade of a G350 without an S8300 Media Server

•
Local upgrade of a G350 with an S8300 Media Server
•
Remote upgrade of a G350 with an S8300 Media Server
•
Remote upgrade of a G350 without an S8300 Media Server
This chapter deals primarily with performing a local upgrade without an S8300 Media Server, and
provides brief overviews of the other upgrade scenarios.
For instructions on upgrading firmware along with the software of a remote media server functioning as
the G350's primary controller, see one of the following documents:

NOTE:
Firmware for the MM314, MM340, and MM342 media modules is not upgraded
separately. These modules use the G350's firmware.
Local upgrade of a G350 without an S8300 Media
Server
This section assumes that you are using the Avaya Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) to upgrade
firmware for a local G350. If the G350 Media Gateway has an S8300 Media Server, you can use the
Avaya IW (for a local installation) or the Upgrade Tool (for a remote installation) instead.
Perform the following steps to upgrade firmware on a local G350 without an S8300 Media Server. These
steps are explained in detail in the following sections.
•
Get planning forms from the project manager
•
Download the GIW
•
Set up a TFTP server
•
Download G350 firmware files to a local TFTP server
•
