Obtaining service pack files
If one or more service packs are required for this installation or upgrade procedure, and the
service pack files are not on your software CD, download the service pack files from the Avaya
Support web site to your laptop.
Service packs may or may not be needed, depending on the release of Communication
Manager. For both new installations and upgrades, you may need to install a service pack after
the installation or upgrade. For an upgrade, you may need a service pack before the upgrade as
well.

e Internet to copy the required Communication Manager
