Installing firmware from the TFTP server on
the S8300 Media Server
Instead of using a separately configured TFTP server on the LAN, you can use the TFTP server capability
of an S8300 Media Server to stage the firmware for upgrading the G350. To do this, you must copy the
individual firmware files to the /var/home/ftp/pub directory on the S8300 Media Server using the
Download Files Web page on the S8300 Media Server. You must then copy the files to the /tftpboot
directory of the S8300 Media Server (see
To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300
Media Server:
on page 67.
After copying the files to the /tftpboot directory, you can use the GIW or the Upgrade Tool to install the
files to the G350 or its media modules by specifying the S8300 Media Server’s IP address as the TFTP
server containing the new firmware files.
To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Media Server:
1
Use Telnet, Avaya Site Administration, or another tool to access the S8300 Media Server
command line.
2
Log in as craft.
3
At the Linux prompt, type
cd /var/home/ftp/pub
and press <Enter>. The Linux prompt
reappears. The current directory has changed to /var/home/ftp/pub.
