Installing TFTP server or obtaining USB CD-ROM drive
Upgrading Communication Manager on an S8300 to release 3.1 normally requires remastering
the S8300B hard drive. After remastering the drive, the remastering program looks for the
Communication Manager software files on:
● An external USB CD-ROM drive, or
● The laptop, if a TFTP server is installed
You must have either the Avaya TFTP server software installed on your laptop or take a USB
CD-ROM drive to the site. If you do not already have the Avaya TFTP server installed on your
laptop, you can obtain the software from the Avaya Support website and install it as described in
