624 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Getting the serial number of the G700, if necessary
To get the serial number of the G700 Media Gateway, ask the customer’s administrator to:
1. Log in to the S8300 Maintenance web pages.
2. Select View License Status or License File from the main menu to display the serial
number.
Note:
Note:
The serial number should also be on a sticker on the back of the G700 chassis,
but this number is occasionally incorrect.
Checking the number of allocated ports
Release 4.0 of Communication Manager supports a maximum of 900 ports if the S8300 is a
primary controller. If the existing system has more than 900 ports allocated, then there may be a
problem with the upgrade and you need to escalate.
To check the system for the maximum number of ports, ask the customer to:
1. Log in to the SAT screen.
2. At the SAT command,
display system-parameters customer-options
.
3. Verify that the Maximum Ports: field is
900
or less.
Checking for and FTP/SCP/SFTP Server or Compact Flash for Backing up
Data
During the installation and upgrade procedures, you must back up the system data to an FTP,
SCP, or SFTP server.
If you are backing up data over the LAN, you normally use an FTP/SCP/SFTP server on the
customer’s LAN. To do this, you will need information on how to get to the backup location:
●
Login ID and password
●
IP address
●
Directory path on the FTP server
If necessary, check with your project manager or the customer for this information.

Before going to the customer site, make sure that you can use either a customer
server for backups or a compact flash card.
