Upgrade G350 or G700 Media Gateways and LSPs (if being used)
Migrating to the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Server 119
June 2004
Upgrade G350 or G700 Media Gateways and LSPs (if
being used)
NOTE:
If the customer has no G350 or G700 Media Gateways or no local survivable processors
(LSPs), skip these tasks and go to On the S8500 Media Server
on page 122.
If the configuration is using G350 or G700 Media Gateways and media modules and newer firmware
exists for them, you must upgrade the firmware on them first. If the media server is the primary controller
for a G700 Media Gateway equipped with a local survivable processor (LSP), you must upgrade the
software on the LSPs (S8300) before you transfer control to the S8710 Media Servers. The correct order
is:
1 Upgrade media gateway firmware to latest version
2 Upgrade media modules firmware to latest version
3 Upgrade S8300 Media Server software to latest version if using LSPs
4 Transfer control to the S8710 Media Server.
Upgrade firmware on media gateways and
media modules
For more detailed information on the firmware upgrade process, see Installation and Upgrades for the
Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100) or for more complete
information.
