Add Announcement Sets and Other Software Packages

Additional software packages, primarily additional announcement sets, may be installed from a CD inserted into your laptop or from technical support websites.

If you are installing software other than announcement sets, be sure to coordinate with your services support center. The type of update determines how you perform the update.

Most software installations require the voice system to stop. Plan to do the installation during low usage hours.

1. Insert the S8300 software CD or languages CD into the CD drive of your laptop.

Note: The update software or languages you need may or may not be on the S8300 CD-ROM or languages CD-ROM. If not, you should be supplied with an update CD-ROM that contains the INTUITY AUDIX update software.

2. Connect your laptop to the services port of the S8300 Media Server. Your laptop must already be configured for this connection.
3. Open a browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Netscape), and enter the URL http://192.11.13.6 to log on as craft.
   
   The system displays the S8300 main menu.
   
   
4. From the S8300 main menu, scroll down if necessary to find the Miscellaneous heading, and click Upload Files to Server (via browser).
   
   The system displays the Upload Files to Server window.

   The S8300 displays the Choose File window, which allows you to select files from your laptop.

Remote field update packages have the format A<number>rf+<letter>.rpm (for example, A602rf+c.rpm).

    The system displays a list of software packages that it will install.
