Chapter 3: Upgrading Firmware on TN circuit packs
and Ethernet switches
Several pieces of equipment require firmware upgrades periodically. This equipment includes
the TN2312AP/BP IP Server Interface (IPSI) and TN8412AP S8400 IP Interface (SIPI)
programable circuit packs, the TN799DP, TN2302AP, and TN2602AP circuit packs, and the
Avaya Ethernet switches C-363T and C-364T.
The programmable circuit packs must be on the most current version, particularly the
TN2312AP/BP and TN8412AP circuit packs. Many features available with Avaya
Communication Manager Release 3.1 cannot be activated unless the circuit packs are on the
most current version.
Firmware for these products are available from the Avaya Support Web site (http://avaya.com/
support).
