Avaya Media Gateway G700 Manuale Utente

Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the /tftpboot directory 
on the TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning 
documentation. If they do not, you must copy the correct firmware versions into the /tftpboot 
directory using the following procedure:

1. Download the firmware files from the support Website to your laptop.

CAUTION:

If you are a customer administrator, you might be required to access the 
Download Center Web site in order to download firmware. For instructions on 
setting up access to the Download Center, access 

 and 

click on the appropriate links.

2. Using the Web Interface on the S8300 Media Server, copy the firmware files from your 

laptop to the /var/home/ftp/pub directory on the S8300, or

Alternatively, you can "ftp" the files from your laptop to the pub directory.

3. Copy the firmware files from the pub directory to the /tftpboot directory, using the S8300 

Media Server command line interface.

To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Media Server, do the following:

a. Access the server’s command line interface using an SSH client, like PuTTY, and an IP 

address of 192.11.13.6.

b. Log in as craft.

c. At the Linux prompt, type cd /var/home/ftp/pub, and press Enter.

d. The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /var/home/ftp/pub.

e. At the Linux prompt, type cp <firmware_filename> /tftpboot, and press Enter to 

copy a single firmware file to the /tftpboot directory. To copy multiple firmware files (most 
firmware files have an .fdl suffix), use the command cp *.fdl /tftpboot.

f. The Linux prompt reappears. The firmware file or files have been copied to the /tftpboot 

directory.

g. Repeat step 4, if necessary, for other firmware files you want to install.

h. At the Linux prompt, type cd /tftpboot.

i. The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /tftpboot.

j. At the Linux prompt, type ls, and press Enter.

k. A list of files in the directory appears.

l. Check the directory to make sure the firmware files you want to install are listed.
