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 S8700 Media Server
on page 143.
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.

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.
Upgrade software on the LSPs
For more detailed information on the software upgrade process, see Installation and Upgrades for the
Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100).
NOTE:
Although the LSPs remain registered with the primary controller, the LSPs will not accept
translations if they are running an older version of the software than the primary
controller.
You may use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the firmware on the G700 Media Gateway. For more detailed
information on using the Upgrade Tool, see the job aid for Release 2.0 titled Job Aid: Upgrade Tool and
Worksheets (555-245-757, Issue 1).
