Important:
Before you go the site, you must either have the TFTP server installed on your
laptop (recommended) or have an external USB CD-ROM drive.
The new S8300B will normally not have Communication Manager software installed on
its hard drive. You should check the S8300B that you will be installing (or ask the
customer to check) before going to the site to determine whether you need to have the
external USB CD-ROM drive. If software is not installed, the label on the hard drive will
say “S8300B Hard Drive Without CM Software.” If software is installed, the label will
indicate the software release. If software is installed, you must use the external USB
CD-ROM drive because the TFTP server on your laptop will not work.
This chapter describes the upgrade procedure with the TFTP Server software installed on the
laptop and using the laptop CD-ROM drive as source of the upgrade software. For instructions
on obtaining and installing the Avaya TFTP Server, see

What provides initial access to the G700
Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is
with a direct connection from your laptop to the services port on the G700. With this connection,
you can assign the IP addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the
customer LAN.
How is normal access to the S8300 and G700 provided
You can access the S8300 and G700 in several ways with either a direct connection or LAN
connection.

Note:
Before the Upgrade Tool can be used to upgrade software on an LSP or firmware
