CAUTION:
CAUTION: The licensing of the platform and port network connectivity attributes for the
S8700-series Media Server can be complex. Failure to license the S8720
properly can result in loss of connectivity to the port networks (PNs). For more
information, see Caution about platform/PNC license settings for the
S8700-series Media Server on page 314 and License and Avaya authentication
files on page 313.
Upgrading H.248 media gateways, LSPs, and ESSs (if being used)
If newer firmware exists for a configuration using H.248 media gateways, LSPs, or ESSs, and
media modules, you must upgrade the firmware on them first. If the media server is the primary
controller for a G700 Media Gateway equipped with an LSP or ESS, you must upgrade the
software on the LSPs or ESSs before the migration. The correct order is:
1. Upgrade media gateway firmware to latest version
2. Upgrade media modules firmware to latest version
3. Upgrade media server software to latest version if using LSPs
4. Migrate to the S8720 Media Server.
Upgrading software on the local survivable processors
For more 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:
Note: Although the LSPs remain registered with the primary controller, the LSPs do not
accept translations if LSPs are running an older version of the software than the
software that is on the primary controller.
You can use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the firmware on the G700 Media Gateway. For more
information on how to use the Upgrade Tool, see Job Aid: Upgrade Tool and Worksheets
(555-245-757).
You might be able to use the Upgrade Tool to upgrade the software on the S8300 Media Server,
depending on the version of the media server. For more information, see Installation and
Upgrades for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server (555-234-100).
