Upgrading an existing G700 without an S8300 using the Upgrade Tool
354 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Use the following guidelines to setup the upgrade:
●
If the customer uses a common logon ID and password for multiple gateways, complete
the Common G350/G700 Logon Values fields.
●
If the customer has a centralized TFTP server for use by multiple G700 or G350 Media
Gateways or the customer has a centralized FTP server for use by multiple G350 Media
Gateways, complete the Common TFTP/FTP Server Values fields.
●
Use the Max Sessions field to specify how many gateways can be simultaneously
connected to a TFTP or a FTP server for upgrading. The number must be between one
and 20 inclusive. If you do not specify a number, the Upgrade Tool defaults to six.
●
If any gateways require unique logon values or unique TFTP servers, complete the
Override Common Values for G350 and G700 Targets fields. You can enter override
values for the following:
- The IP address of the unique TFTP server.
- The completed path to the directory from the root of the TFTP server.
- The logon information for the gateway.
●
If any override fields are left blank, the values entered in the Common fields are used.
●
Some upgrades may time out due to network traffic and limitations on how long the
Upgrade Tool will allow an upgrade to continue.
●
Since the media gateway (MGP) firmware files are fairly large they may cause a timeout
during an upgrade to a remote location. What you enter in the TFTP Directory field
depends on the type of TFTP server you are using. If the TFTP server is:
- An S8300 or an LSP, enter the path to the firmware files relative to the /tftpboot
directory. For example, if the firmware files are in /tftpboot/cm3.0/318.0, enter cm3.0/
318.0.
Note:
Note:
If the files are in the /tftpboot directory on the S8300 server/LSP and there is no
subdirectory, leave the TFTP Directory field blank.
- An Avaya Windows server, enter the path of the outbound source for the TFTP server
specified to be accessed. For example, if the firmware files reside in the directory c:
ftp_outbound\cm3.0\340.3 and the TFTP server application is configured to have its
outbound source as c:ftp_outbound, then you would enter cm3.0\340.3 as the value in
the TFTP Directory field.
Note:
Note:
If the files are in /tftpboot on the Avaya server and there is no subdirectory, leave
the TFTP Directory field blank.
- A customer server, ask the customer how their TFTP server is set up.
