Avaya Media Gateway G700 Manuale Utente

This chapter covers the procedures to install a new Avaya G700 Media Gateway with an Avaya 
S8300B Media Server. The S8300 can be configured as either the primary controller or as a 
local survivable processor (LSP). 

The new S8300 normally ships without Communication Manager software installed on the hard 
drive. The hard drive contains only the remastering program (RP) software, which remasters the 
hard drive and installs the Communication Manager Software from the Server CD. To install the 
software, you need to have the Avaya TFTP Server installed on your laptop or use an external 
USB CD-ROM drive. 

However, the S8300B may occasionally ship with Communication Manager software installed. 
In this case you must use an external USB CD-ROM drive — you cannot use the TFTP server 
on the laptop. See 

on page 139 for more information.

The G700 ships with the firmware installed on the G700 processors and media modules. 
However, you may need to upgrade Communication Manager, G700 firmware, and/or media 
module firmware if the latest available versions are not currently installed.

Important:

This installation procedure requires that TFTP server software is installed on the 
technician’s laptop. If the TFTP server is not installed on the laptop, you can use 
an external USB CD-ROM drive instead.

If the S8300 is configured as an LSP, the primary controller, running Avaya Communication 
Manager, can be either another S8300, or an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server. 

Note:

Procedures to install or upgrade an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server 
are not covered in this document. See Documentation for Avaya Communication 
Manager, Media Gateways and Servers, which is on the Avaya Support website 
(

) or on the CD, 03-300151.

The steps to install an S8300 configured as an LSP are the same as the steps to install an 
S8300 configured as the primary controller, with the following additional considerations:

●

The version of Communication Manager on the LSP must be the same as, or later than, 
the version running on the primary controller.

●

For an LSP, you administer Communication Manager translations on the primary 
controller, not on the LSP. The primary controller then copies the translations to the LSP.
