Installing Communication Manager on an S8300B requires remastering the S8300B hard drive.
After remastering the drive, the remastering program looks for the Communication Manager
software files on:

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

Important: If the new S8300B that you will be installing has Communication Manager
software installed on its hard drive, you must use an external USB CD-ROM drive
instead of the TFTP server on your laptop. See About access to the Server
CD on page 139.
