To use the Software Update Manager, the customer should have Integrated Management
Enterprise Network Management, which is an entitlement for any new Communication Manager
customers who purchase non-introductory offers of Communication Manager.
Avaya Software Update Manager is launched from the Network Manager Console, the main
control panel for Enterprise Network Management. Software Update Manager can be operated
manually, where the operator specifies the firmware images to be downloaded by consulting the
Avaya Support Web site for the latest available version. Software Update Manager can also
retrieve image files automatically from the Avaya Support Web site. To operate the upgrade
automatically, the PC hosting Software Update Manager must have external Internet access.
The Software Update Manager is the preferred tool for downloading firmware to multiple TN
circuit packs that reside in CMC1, SCC1, MCC1, G600, and G650 Media Gateways connected
to S8400, S8500, S8500B, and S8700-series Media Servers. The Software Update Manager
uses Secure Copy (SCP) to automatically download files from a centralized SCP-enabled
server to any number of TN circuit packs simultaneously.
Note:
Note: The DEFINITY Server CSI does not support the centralized download of firmware
by Software Update Manager. Software Update Manager supports only servers
running Communication Manager R3.1 software or higher.
