Firmware upgrades using Software Update Manager
You can use Avaya Software Update Manager to view your network inventory and the firmware
vintages of devices on your network. Avaya Software Update Manager can also check the software
versions currently in use against the latest versions available from Avaya and recommend updates
when a newer version is available. Based on this information, you can download new firmware to
multiple network devices simultaneously from a single management station, ensuring all devices are
updated.
You can use Avaya Software Update Manager to take a new release from Avaya's website and
store it on your hard disk for subsequent downloading to the appropriate devices.
Avaya Software Update Manager is a server application hosted on the Avaya Network Management
server. The server stores all the software retrieved from the Web and can download the software to
appropriate devices. You may also copy files containing embedded software to the server. You can
reach the server locally or via remote access, so you can update the software on your devices from
anywhere in the world.
Avaya Software Update Manager is part of the Integrated Management Enterprise Package which is
an entitlement for all Avaya Aura
