Checking the FTP server for backing up data
During the installation and upgrade procedures, you will need to back up the system data to an
FTP server. Normally, you will use an FTP server on the customer’s LAN for backups.
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
Check with your project manager or the customer for this information.

Before going to the customer site, make sure that you can use a customer server
for backups.
Obtaining S8300 software and G700 firmware
The file containing the software for the S8300 has a *.tar extension and contains both the S8300
software and the G700 and media module firmware. The *.tar file is on a CD-ROM that you take
to the site. This CD is called the “unity CD” because it contains software for all of the Linux
servers. Additional files that may be needed are license and authentication files, and the most
recent versions of the software update (patch) files and G700 firmware files.
