Upgrading an existing S8300A to R3.1 using the Web pages
230 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
!
Important:
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 Accessing the Server CD
on
page 228 for more information.
Collecting upgrade information
Filling in the EPW, if upgrading from release 1.1
If you are upgrading from release 1.1, you will need to do a complete configuration of the
S8300B after the upgrade to release 3.1. The most efficient way to do this is to fill in the
Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW) and use the Avaya Installation Wizard to complete
the server configuration task. You should download the latest version of the EPW from http://
support.avaya.com/avayaiw/ to your laptop. You can fill in most or all of the configuration
information before going to the site. Any missing information can be added to the EPW at the
site by viewing the configuration screens using the Maintenance Web Interface before the
upgrade.
Planning forms provided by the project manager
The Project Manager should provide you with forms that contain all the information needed to
prepare for this installation. The information includes IP addresses, subnet mask addresses,
logins, passwords, people to contact, the type of system, and equipment you need to install.
Verify that the information provided by the project manager includes all the information
requested in your planning forms.
Tip:
Tip: Appendix B: Information checklists provides several checklists to help you gather
the installation and upgrade information.
