Avaya Generic 3si (G3si) Driver Download (Official)

MGP Firmware File

Note: The above FW (MGP, VoIP and Cajun) must be downloaded separately.

They are released as a package and should all be installed at the same

time. It is suggested that the P330 (Cajun) FW (if required) be downloaded

first, followed by the MGP and then VoIP.

CONTENTS:

1) Statement of Applicability

This version of firmware is applicable to G700 Media Gateway hardware

DAF1 vintages 0 & 1 and DAF1B vintages 0 or later; however, the DAF1

vintages will not support more than 12 tone detectors due to hardware

limitations.

A G700 Media Gateway running MGP firmware v21.20.1 is not compatible with

a primary controller running releases of Communication Manager earlier

than 1.3. Stated another way, a G70

v21.20.1 requires a primary controller running Communication Manager 1.3

or later.

Please see the MM760 Read Me file (firmware version 22) for the VoIP Engine,

the P330 Read Me file for the Cajun switch, and the Device Manager.

2) Special Download instructions

Before attempting a download, please read the section in the Installation

documentation titled "Upgrading / Downloading Software / Firmware".

3) Pre Install Instructions

- Browser Access to the Customer Support Web site (http://support.avaya.com),

or another way to get the Target File.

- Requires FTP and TFTP applications on your PC or Local Computer.

- Target Board: G700 Media Gateway, DAF1 vintage 0, 1 or DAF1B vintage 1

or later. Although DAF1 vintage 0 or 1 is compatible with MGP v21.20.1,

it will not support more than 12 tone detectors.

- Inads, dadmin, craft or a customer login that has been enabled

for system maintenance.

Note: The suggested order for upgrading LSPs and media gateways to the latest firmware

and software is the following:

1.Upgrade the Communication Manager software on all LSPs.

2.Upgrade the firmware on all media gateways (G700s).

3.Upgrade the Communication Manager software on the primary server.

Note: The following is needed to fully support 15 tone detection channels

(increased from 12) on the G700 Media Gateway:

1.G700 Media Gateway R2 (including DAF1B Motherboard vintage 0 or 1)

2.Communication Manager 1.3 or greater on the primary server

3.G700 MGP firmware vintage 20.13.0 or greater

4) Known Problems

Local Spare Processor (LSP)/G700 reboots during upgrade via link with 128kbps or less

bandwidth. Workaround: Upgrade via local TFTP server.

The S8300B suffix is reported as an 'A' with Avaya Communication Manager 2.0

on the command line interface (CLI). On the SAT, the suffix is not reported.

This will be resolved in a subsequent release. With Avaya Communication Manager 1.3,

the S8300B suffix will be reported as an 'A' with a vintage '7' on the CLI.

On the SAT, the suffix will not be reported.

Note: When putting a new G700 Media Gateway (hardware vintage 1 with the latest MGP and

MM firmware) into a configuration where the primary server is running Communication

Manager 1.2 and will not be upgraded to 1.3 or 2.0, the MGP and MM760 firmware on the media

gateway should be taken back to a version that is compatible with Communication Manager 1.2.

This can be done by performing a firmware upgrade and taking the MGP back to firmware

vintage 8, and taking the MM760 back to firmware vintage 8 as well.

Note: A G700 Media Gateway running MGP firmware vintage 8 (V8) is compatible with a

primary controller running Communication Manager 1.3. In this case you do not receive

the benefit of any new 1.3 functionality (e.g., new IP loss groups). For this reason,

it is recommended systems do not run with this firmware/software combination for an

extended period of time.

5) Change History

This release of the G700 Media Gateway (Vintage 21.20.1) addresses:

- Fixed rare buffer leak in TCP/IP stack that could cause the G700 to stop

receiving packets.

- The Firmware Download function now supports multiple MM711 Analog Media Module

hardware vintages and will correctly abort the download of firmware that is

incompatible with hardware.

- Background parameters changed to allow 2,500 IP to IP calls.

- Vintage number for the S8300 is maintained on displays.

- Changed the XRAM LinkId creation algorithm.

- The controller will monitor transactions from the gateway to ensure one is received

at least once every 15 seconds. If there has been no activity on the gateway in the

past 15 seconds, a keep alive will be sent.

- Media gateway processor registration status is reported correctly.

- Talk path on ISDN IP loop-around trunks fixed.

- Fixed E1/T1 reconfiguration with different port counts from failing.

- Termination DTMF digit detection.

- Active ephemerals are returned to avoid problems with link bounce with WARMBOOT and RESTART.

- Ephemeral VoIP detected DTMF tones are reported to the controller.

- Added end-to-end signaling with Real Time Transport Protoc0l for Ephemerals.

- Fixed IP-phone dial tone with multiple codecs.

- Digit collection on Media Gateway PRI trunks improved.

- Added support for PRI broadcast links.

- Rotary dialing supported.

- Added support for "caching" a VoIP Channel, to support the Avaya Communication Manager

"ephemeral caching" feature (to speed up VoIP calls on Media Gateways).

- Improved echo cancellation on analog trunks.

- Multilevel precedence and preemption call support added.

- Added support to administer gain for music.
