Chapter 6: Upgrading an R6.2 system with
an R6.2 service pack
This chapter is for B5800 Branch Gateway systems that have already been upgraded from R6.1 to R6.2.
Avaya periodically releases service packs to provide updates that fix existing problems or provide
enhancements.
This chapter describes how to perform an upgrade using Avaya Aura
®
System Manager. Avaya Aura
®
System Manager should be used on R6.2 systems when multiple branches require upgrades.
Two other methods which require using IP Office Manager that is connected directly to the B5800 Branch
Gateway system are available to perform an upgrade. You can perform an upgrade using the IP Office
Manager upgrade wizard or using the System SD card. For more information, see:
•
Using the upgrade wizard on page 217
• System upgrade using the System SD card on page 256
