The Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) is used to configure the server ( Using the
Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) on page 161) and install G700 firmware ( Install
new firmware on the G700 on page 158) after the Communication Manager
software is installed. Other tasks have to be done manually, and are identified in
the sections to follow.
Installation Overview
About G700 components
A P330 Stack Processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. (This processor is also known as
the Layer 2 switching processor). The G700 also contains an MGP processor, a VoIP
processor, and media modules. Updating the firmware for one or more of these processors and/
or media modules is a required part of most S8300 software upgrades.
About software and firmware files
A new S8300 Media Server should have only the remaster program (RP) software installed on
its hard drive. The G700 components should have current releases of firmware installed. It may
be necessary to install a service pack on the S8300 after installing the Communication Manager
software, and/or to upgrade the G700 and media module firmware.
Each file containing the S8300 software and G700 firmware has an *.rpm extension. The *.rpm
files are on the Communication Manager software distribution CD-ROM that you take to the site.
Additional files that may be needed are the most recent versions of the software service pack
file and G700 firmware files. You may need to obtain these files from the Avaya Support web
site.
