Installation overview
What are the system components
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). In addition, the G700 contains:
● Media Gateway Processor (MGP)
● VoIP processor
● Up to four media modules
● Possibly an expansion module
Installing or upgrading the firmware for one or more of these processors and/or media modules
is a required part of most new installations or upgrades.
About firmware files
You should obtain the firmware files for the G700 before going on-site. You can obtain the
firmware files in bundled form on a CD or you can go to the Avaya Support website and
download the individual firmware files onto your services laptop.
About the TFTP server
To install firmware on a G700 without an S8300 or LSP, you must first copy the firmware files to
an external TFTP server on the customer LAN. The TFTP server can be a customer computer
or it can be set up on your services laptop.
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 Console 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.
