License file with Survivable Remote Server
If you are installing an S8300 as a Survivable Remote Server (SRS), the license file for the S8300
must have a Communication Manager release that is equal to or greater than that of the server
that acts as primary controller. This is necessary so that if control passes to the SRS, it can allow
the same level of call processing as that of the primary controller.
Additionally, the SRS must have a version of Avaya Aura
®
Communication Manager that is
identical to that of the primary controller.
The license file requirements of the SRS should be identified in your planning documentation.
Downloading license and authentication files
If you are installing a Branch Gateway with an S8300 Server as a primary controller, you need
license and authentication files for the Communication Manager.
You can use the Maintenance Web Interface to install the Communication Manager license and
authentication files.
Downloading recent firmware
About this task
Download any recently updated firmware for the Branch Gateway and media modules to your
laptop. Visit the Avaya Support website
www.avaya.com/support to check the latest firmware
image file versions against the factory installed versions in the hardware you are installing.
Download any firmware image file upgrades you need from the Avaya Support website, and any
Communication Manager service packs that may be required for the upgrade.
Solution Deployment Manager
You can upgrade the S8300 using the Solution Deployment Manager. For information about
upgrading S8300 firmware using the Solution Deployment Manager, see Administering Avaya
Aura
®
System Manager.
From Release 7.0, Solution Deployment Manager replaces Software Update Manager (SUM).
Gateway authentication file
An authentication file is preinstalled in the gateway, and can be updated if needed. Check the
authentication file version using the 'show auth-file info' function. Gateway firmware version 6.x
and newer (including versions 7.0.0+) use the 6.x authentication files.
Note:
• Gateway authentication file is not used in Release 7.1.2 and later.
• When FIPS mode is enabled on the gateway, services logins using the authentication file
are disabled.
