Tip:
Because of the replacement of the S8300A and the reformatting of the S8300B
hard drive, the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) cannot support upgrades of
Communication Manager to release 2.2 when starting with the S8300A version.
However, the IW and the Upgrade Tool can still be used for the media gateway
and media module firmware upgrades.
