Important:

This chapter assumes that the currently installed S8300 is version B, which is 
required to run Communication Manager release 2.0 or greater. If the currently 
installed S8300 is version A, follow the upgrade procedures in 

The S8300 can be configured as either the primary controller or as a local survivable processor 
(LSP). When the S8300 is an LSP, the primary controller, running Avaya Communication 
Manager, can be either another S8300 or an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server.

CAUTION:

When you are upgrading the media server as a primary controller, you must 
check Product Support Notice #739U for the supported upgrade paths. If you 
attempt to upgrade the media server to a release that is not supported as an 
upgrade path, you might corrupt the translations. 

Also, you must check PSN #739U for compatibility of software loads between the 
primary controller and any LSPs or ESSs. If the software loads of the primary 
controller and the LSPs/ESSs are incompatible, then file synchronization 
between the primary controller and the LSPs/ESSs can cause translation 
corruption on the LSPs/ESSs.
