Wizards for Installations and Upgrades
Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300 29
December 2003
The following table summarizes when you would use each tool and what it does for you.
If you need to: Then use:
Install new or upgrade existing
S8300, S8500 or S8700 Media
Servers, including:
• The G350 or G700 that
contains an S8300
• Other G700s in the stack
• G350/G700 media
modules
The Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) on site, with a laptop
connection to the Services port on the media server.
NOTE:
Since the source files for an upgrade are large, the IW
requires that these source files be accessible (to the
media server running the IW) over a high-bandwidth
connection. The files could be on the media server’s
hard drive (ftp/pub directory), on a CD-ROM drive
connected to the media server, or on the CD-ROM
drive or hard drive on a technician’s laptop directly
connected to the media server. If the source files are
available on one of these media, you could use the
IW from a remote location using a dialup PPP
connection to the media server (with modem
enabled) running the IW.
This wizard installs new (or upgrades existing) software on media
servers and performs the initial configuration. It upgrades firmware
on new or existing media gateway processors and media modules.
You will also use the Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet, which
you get from your project manager. For the S8300/G700, you may
also use the Name and Number List and the Custom Template with
the wizard for more comprehensive custom installations.
Install a new G350 or G700 that
does not contain an S8300
The Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) on site, with a laptop
connection to the G350 or G700.
This wizard configures the IP addresses for the gateway, including
the gateway processors, the controller list, and the VoIP engine.
The GIW does not install firmware on the G350 or G700 or their
media modules. You can install firmware manually, or use the UT.
Schedule upgrades of multiple,
geographically-distributed LSPs
or G350/G700 gateways, all of
which have the same remote
primary controller — S8300,
S8500, or S8700.
The Upgrade Tool (UT), running on the primary controller, using a
remote network connection.
This tool enables you to upgrade:
• the software on all LSPs registered with the primary
controller
• the processor and media module firmware for all gateways
currently or previously registered with the primary
controller.
NOTE: If the customer has purchased and installed the
MultiService Software Update Manager, you may wish to use it,
instead, to upgrade G350 or G700 Media Gateways. However, the
Software Update Manager cannot upgrade LSPs.
