Avaya S8100 Series - Upgrading firmware on programmable TN circuit packs

Issue 2.1 June 2006 293
Upgrading firmware on programmable TN circuit
packs
TN circuit packs require firmware upgrades periodically. You can download new firmware to
specific, programmable circuit packs. Programmable circuit packs have a “P” in their suffix. For
example TN799DP is programmable, but TN799C is not. This programmable capability reduces
the need to physically remove circuit packs and return them to Avaya for firmware updates.
In addition, with Communication Manager R3.1 and higher, you can use a central firmware
despository on an SCP-enabled file server to update one or all of your non-self-downloadable
circuit packs and the following versions of self-downloadable circuit packs:
● TN799DP CLAN circuit pack, firmware version 17 or higher
● TN2602AP IP Media Resource 320, firmware version 20 or higher
● TN2501 VAL circuit pack, firmware version 10 or higher
Finally, with Communication Manager R3.1 and higher, you can use the Software Update
Manager to download firmware to TN circuit packs.
