Installing TFTP server (or obtaining USB CD-ROM drive)
Upgrading Communication Manager on an S8300 to release 3.0 requires remastering the
S8300B hard drive. After remastering the drive, the remastering program looks for the
Communication Manager software files on:
● Your laptop if a TFTP server is installed
or,
● An external USB CD-ROM drive
You must have the Avaya TFTP server software installed on your laptop or take a USB
CD-ROM drive to the site. If you do not already have the Avaya TFTP server installed on your
laptop, you can obtain the software from the Avaya Support website and install it as described in
Appendix D: Install the Avaya TFTP server .
