Upgrading an existing S8300B to R3.1 using the Upgrade Tool
306 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Note:
Note: Use of the TFTP server should be within the local LAN segment. Downloading
the Communication Manager software over a WAN is not recommended because
a TFTP server can time out, and the download can fail.
Additionally, the bandwidth of the WAN should be large because the
Communication Manager software files are very large ó with some files up to 72
Megabytes (MB) in size and a cumulative total for all files of over 400 MB.
Note:
Note: To upgrade the firmware on the media gateway or its media modules, you can
download the firmware from a TFTP server only. This TFTP server can be the
/tftpboot directory on an S8300 Media Server or a TFTP directory on any server
that is accessible over the LAN to the media gateway.
An HTTP server cannot be used for firmware downloads to the media gateway or
its media modules.
