G700 firmware file (most recent version)

The firmware on the Communication Manager software distribution CD may not be the most 
recent. Therefore, check the firmware versions contained on the software CD to verify that you 
have the latest before installing the firmware using the LSP’s TFTP server. You can do this by 
accessing the CD on your laptop and displaying the actual firmware filenames in the Releases\
<release_number>\Gateways directory. 

For example, the CD may contain a file mm760v60.fdl, but the most recent firmware available 
on the Avaya Web site is mm760v65.fdl. In this case, download the mm760v65.fdl file from the 
Web site for installation instead of installing the file from the CD. As another example, the CD 
may contain the mgp_25_23_0.bin media gateway file, and the Avaya Web site also contains 
mgp_25_23_0.bin. In this case, you could use the firmware from the CD because the versions 
of the files are the same.

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.

Pre- and post-upgrade service packs may be needed for this upgrade. If the service pack files 
are not on your software CD, download the service pack files from the Avaya Support web site 
to your laptop.

This upgrade requires a pre-upgrade service pack. The service pack filename differs, 
depending on which software load the media server is on. See 

Table 42: Pre-Upgrade service 

pack filenames for software release and load

 for the software load associated with each 

release.
