Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

Basic device configurationEach firmware bank contains a version of the G350 firmware. These may be different versions.The purpose of this feature is to provide software redundancy. If one of the versions becomescorrupted, you can reset the G350 using the other version. This is particularly important whenuploading new versions.By default, when you turn on or reset the G350, the G350 loads firmware from Bank B. Tochange the default bank from which firmware is loaded during startup, type the set bootbank command. For example, to configure the G350 to load firmware from Bank A on startup,type set boot bank bank-A. After typing the set boot bank command, you must typethe copy running-config startup-config command to save the change. Now, whenyou reset the G350, it will load firmware from Bank A.You can use the ASB button on the G350 front panel to load firmware from the bank other thanthe default bank during startup:1. Press and hold the reset button.2. Press and hold the ASB button.3. Release the reset button.4. Release the ASB button.For example, if the G350 is configured to load firmware from Bank B, use the steps listed aboveto reset the G350 to load the firmware from Bank A instead.To display the bank from which the G350 is currently set to load its firmware upon startup orreset, type the show boot bank command.Upgrading software and firmwareTo upgrade software or firmware, you must obtain an upgrade file from Avaya. Place the file onyour FTP or TFTP server. Then, use one of the following commands to upload the file to theG350. For each of these commands, include the full path of the file and the IP address of theFTP or TFTP host as parameters. When you enter the command, the CLI prompts you for ausername and password.Note:●●●●Note:In addition to using the CLI to upgrade software and firmware, you can use theAvaya IW and the GIW. See Configuring the G350 using the Avaya IW onpage 389 and Configuring the G350 using the GIW on page 427.Use the copy ftp EW_archive command to upgrade the Java applet for Avaya G350Manager software from an FTP server.Use the copy ftp module command, followed by the module number of the module youwant to upgrade, to upgrade the firmware on a media module from an FTP server.Use the copy ftp SW_imageA command to upgrade the G350 firmware into Bank Afrom an FTP server.Use the copy ftp SW_imageB command to upgrade the G350 firmware into Bank Bfrom an FTP server.58 Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
