Verifying the contents of the tftpboot directory
Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the /tftpboot directory
on the TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning
documentation. If they do not, you must copy the correct firmware versions into the /tftpboot
directory using the following procedure:
1. Download the firmware files from the support Website to your laptop.

If you are a customer administrator, you might be required to access the
Download Center Web site in order to download firmware. For instructions on
setting up access to the Download Center, access
http://support.avaya.com and
click on the appropriate links.
2. Using the Web Interface on the S8300 Media Server, copy the firmware files from your
laptop to the /var/home/ftp/pub directory on the S8300, or
Alternatively, you can "ftp" the files from your laptop to the pub directory.
3. Copy the firmware files from the pub directory to the /tftpboot directory, using the S8300
Media Server command line interface.
To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Media Server, do the following:

e. At the Linux prompt, type cp <firmware_filename> /tftpboot, and press Enter to
copy a single firmware file to the /tftpboot directory. To copy multiple firmware files (most
firmware files have an .fdl suffix), use the command cp *.fdl /tftpboot.
f. The Linux prompt reappears. The firmware file or files have been copied to the /tftpboot
directory.
g. Repeat step 4, if necessary, for other firmware files you want to install.
h. At the Linux prompt, type cd /tftpboot.
i. The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /tftpboot.
j. At the Linux prompt, type ls, and press Enter.
