Detailing Hardware and Software Considerations for the DXP System
Detailing the Hardware Considerations
The DXP system must be operating on a DXCPU–68K CPU board. The 14A software release is not
compatible with systems using a DXCPU–186 CPU board found in earlier DXP systems.
If you are upgrading a DXP system to 14A from software 9C or earlier, you must use the
DXPSW–DLRP package. In addition to the 14A software card, this package includes the following
items that you must install as part of the software upgrade:
•
new cabinet labeling for board configurations,
•
new Random Access Memory (RAM) card (DXRAM–EXPC),
•
VMMI programming software.
If you are upgrading a DXP system to 13B from software 10A or later, you may only need to change the
software card (DXPSW–DLRC) on the existing DXRAM–EXPC Random Access Memory (RAM)
memory card; however, since the release of software revision 13A for the DXP digital communications
system requires a revision B DXRAM–EXPC memory card, you may also need to upgrade the memory
card in your system to revision B.
If your DXP should still include a revision A memory card, you must install an DXRAM–UPC upgrade
kit to convert it into a revision B card at the time you upgrade the system software to 14A. The
DXRAM–UPC kit includes two memory chips (integrated circuit components) and an upgrade label.
NOTE: The DXRAM-UPC kit is not available through normal supply distribution channels. You can
obtain the DXRAM kit through Comdial Distributor Sales by dialing 1-800-669-2663 and
speaking with a Distributor Sales representative.
Detailing the Software Considerations
•
The PCMMI (off-line) programming procedure is no longer available with 14A software. A
windows-based, Visual Man-Machine Interface (VMMI) programming system with help files now
replaces the PCMMI.
•
The DXP database must be at least revision 9A before you can translate it to 14A. You can ue the 9A
revision of the PCMMI programming software to upload your current DXP database and then
download it to a data storage area—such as your computer’s hard drive—as a revision 9A database.*
You must then use the new VMMI feature to translate this stored 9A data into an 14A database before
you load it back into the system.
•
The PC Attendant Position software must be at least revision 5A. (You must upgrade the software in
your PC Attendant to this level to be compatible with the 14A software release.*) It is a good practice
to upgrade the PC Attendant Position computer to contain at least 2 megabytes of RAM memory.
While this may not be necessary for every installation, upgrading to 2 megabytes of RAM memory
ensures that the PC Attendant Position functions properly under all conditions.
*Remember, you can download the latest VMMI, and PC Attendant software from the Comdial Technical Services
Bulletin Board by calling 1-804-978-2583 or from the World Wide Web at: http://bbs.comdial.com.
