Configuring a New G700 with an S8700 (No Local
Survivable Processor)��

For an installation of a new system, to obtain new firmware for the Avaya^TM G700 Media Gateway, you may do one of the following:

• Upload the firmware from a CD on-site
• Download the firmware directly onto your services computer before going on-site

If you are installing a G700 Media Gateway without an S8300 or LSP, you must use an external TFTP server. The new software file for the G700 has a .gz extension. The release letter for the installation, which should be shipped with the G700 or available from your Project Manager, will tell you what files you need to load.

Note: A P330 processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. This P300 processor is also known as the Layer 2 Switch Processor. You normally access the G700 for configurations by first accessing the P300 processor. Configuration and firmware updates of this processor are a required part of most installations and upgrades.
